Cloud AI models excel at technical jargon, code terminology, and specialized vocabulary.
Custom Dictionary
Add names, technical terms, and jargon. Ottex transcribes them accurately every time.
Inline AI Commands

Precision Typing
Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle automation platform terminology?+
Yes. Cloud models like Gemini 3 Flash handle automation terms well—Zap, Scenario, Trigger, Webhook, Iterator, Formatter, Lookup Table. For platform-specific terms and client names, add them to the custom dictionary once.
Can I dictate directly into Notion, Google Docs, and other apps?+
Yes. Ottex works system-wide on macOS—anywhere you can type. Notion, Google Docs, Confluence, Slack, email. One hotkey (Option+D), works everywhere you document.
Is it private enough for client documentation?+
Yes. Use local Whisper models for 100% offline transcription—nothing leaves your Mac. For cloud transcription, BYOK means audio goes directly to your API provider using your key, not through Ottex servers. You control the privacy level for sensitive client work.
How does it help with AI debugging prompts?+
Speaking removes the friction of explaining complex automation scenarios. Instead of typing a summary, you speak the full context: module configuration, data structure, error messages, what you've tried. ChatGPT and Claude give better suggestions when they have complete information.
Can I have different styles for client docs vs internal notes?+
Yes. Ottex detects your active app and adjusts formatting and tone accordingly. Notion documentation gets structured formatting. Slack messages stay direct. Google Docs get professional style. You control the style per app.
Will it slow down my browser while running Zapier or Make?+
No. Ottex uses less than 2% CPU because it's native Swift, not Electron. Cloud processing happens via API. Your browser stays responsive even with heavy automation platform usage.
How much does it cost for typical automation documentation?+
Free with local models (Whisper runs on your Mac). With BYOK, most automation specialists spend $2-4/month using Gemini 3 Flash or Groq. Heavy documentation months might hit $5-6. Compare that to enterprise documentation tools with per-seat pricing.
Can I capture requirements during or after client calls?+
Yes. Many automation specialists dictate requirements immediately after calls while context is fresh. Capture process descriptions, pain points, technical constraints—all documented in minutes instead of reconstructing from memory later.
