Ottex Commands

Inline AI transformations during dictation.

Ottex Commands let you invoke AI directly within your dictation flow. Say "Ottex start", give an instruction, and end with "Ottex end".

When to use: Perfect for quick AI tasks while you're speaking — look up a quote, translate a phrase, calculate something — all without stopping your dictation.

How It Works

  1. Start dictating normally
  2. Say "Ottex start" (or just "Ottex")
  3. Give your instruction
  4. Say "Ottex end"
  5. Continue dictating — AI result appears inline

Enable this feature: Settings → Voice to Text → Ottex Commands (Experimental)

Examples

Insert Quotes

You say:

As Churchill once said Ottex start find the exact quote about success being going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm Ottex end and that's what I believe in.

Ottex writes:

As Churchill once said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts," and that's what I believe in.

Translate Inline

You say:

Hey Jane, Ottex start translate how are you what do you think about meeting for a coffee to Spanish Ottex end

Ottex writes:

Hey Jane, ¿cómo estás? ¿Qué te parece si quedamos para un café?

Format as Email

You say:

I wanted to follow up on our meeting last week we discussed the new project timeline and I think we should move the deadline to next month let me know what you think Ottex start format this as a professional email Ottex end

Ottex writes:

Hi, I wanted to follow up on our meeting last week. We discussed the new project timeline, and I think we should move the deadline to next month. Let me know what you think. Best regards

Common Use Cases

  • Quotes & facts — insert famous quotes, statistics, definitions
  • Translations — translate words or phrases into any language
  • Date/time — calculate dates, format timestamps
  • Math — simple calculations, unit conversions
  • Formatting — convert text to bullet lists, tables
  • Lookups — find an email address, phone format, zip code

Tips

Be Specific

The more specific your instruction, the better the result. "Translate hello to Spanish" works better than "translate this."

Keep It Short

Ottex Commands are best for quick tasks. For complex transformations, use Command Mode instead.
