Transcription service Otter to make free users pay for older recordings access

Automated transcription service Otter is set to make some big changes to its offerings for both free and paying customers. According to The Verge, the company will be downgrading its features, reducing the number of audio imports users can make; the length of audio they can transcribe each month, and so on, though it is giving free users access to some new tools. One of the biggest changes, though, is that free users will no longer be able to access their full back catalogue of recordings. Instead, they'll only have access to the most recent 25.The rest will be "archived", that is, they'll still exist on Otter's servers, but users will have to either delete other conversations to access them or pay to upgrade to Otter's "pro" plan.
