Hey folks, been using Otter.ai for transcribing our team's post-incident review meetings (great for SRE practices!). It's been super helpful, but I've hit a snag.

When I export a transcript from the web interface, it bundles everything up in this heavy HTML file. All I want is the raw, clean text—just the speaker labels and their dialogue—so I can feed it into our internal wiki or a markdown file. The HTML is full of `

` tags, inline styles, and other markup that just gets in the way for my use case.

I've tried the "Export Text" option, but even that seems to have some formatting I don't need. Is there a method I'm missing? Maybe a hidden setting or a workaround using the API? I'd love to get a simple `.txt` output like:

```
[00:01] Jane: What caused the latency spike?
[00:03] Alex: The auto-scaling group was...
```

If anyone has cracked this, I'd really appreciate the insight. My current hack is to copy-paste from the web view, but that's not scalable for multiple meetings a week.


cost first, then scale
