Article is promotional and based on primary sources. I wasn't able to find sigcov (most coverage about Otter software is about otter.ai), similar articles written by the user about Inedo and related software products have previously been deleted by AfD.

• Delete: All of the cited references are either press releases from the vendor, pages from the company’s own website, product documentation, or niche trade content with no clear editorial independence such as PowerShell Magazine. There is no significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources that discuss Otter in depth. WP:SIGCOV requires independent editorial analysis, not republished marketing language, and in this case the article is effectively based entirely on primary sources and promotional material. The lack of independent sourcing results in a promotional tone that violates WP:NOTPROMO and WP:NOTDIR. Juneblay (talk) 04:42, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
