Bottom Line

Loqua (Productivity) and Otter.ai (Audio) come from different corners of the market, so this usually comes down to which job you're actually hiring a tool for, not a head-to-head on the same task.
Choose Loqua if…
Best for anyone who wants dictation cleaned up live as they speak, not edited afterward in a separate pass, and its edge is strips filler words and false starts in real time and works system-wide across email, docs, and chat apps. A genuinely convenient live-cleanup approach, it's a newer entrant competing against well-established dictation tools.
