Concrete benefits with real-world impact
3x Faster Than Typing
Speak 150+ words per minute vs 40 wpm typing. Finish tasks in a third of the time.
Voice Corrections
Say 'scratch that' to delete mistakes, 'actually' to rephrase. Fix errors without stopping your flow or touching the keyboard.
Inline AI Commands
Transform text as you speak: 'Ottex start fix grammar Ottex end'. Edit, improve, translate—all by voice.
Accurate Transcription
Cloud AI models transcribe your voice with 99% accuracy. Filler words like 'um' and 'like' are automatically cleaned up.

Technical Term Accuracy
Cloud AI models excel at technical jargon, code terminology, and specialized vocabulary.

Add names, technical terms, and jargon. Ottex transcribes them accurately every time.
Precision Typing
Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.

Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate directly into PowerPoint and Google Slides?+
Yes. Ottex works anywhere you can type—PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, Notion, Word, anywhere. Press Option+D in the speaker notes or content area and start speaking. Your training slides get content faster.
How do I capture participant feedback during sessions?+
Open your notes app after a session, press Option+D, and speak your observations while they're fresh. Capture who said what, energy levels, questions that came up, what landed and what didn't. Comprehensive feedback in minutes instead of typing it all out later when you've forgotten details.
Is my training content secure?+
Yes. Ottex offers 100% local processing with Whisper models—your audio never leaves your Mac. Or use BYOK (bring your own key) for cloud models like Gemini 3 Flash. Either way, Ottex never stores your data. Proprietary training content stays confidential.
Can I use it to plan training sessions faster?+
Yes. Dictate your session outline while walking or commuting. Speak through the flow: 'Module one: icebreaker, 15 minutes. Module two: core concepts presentation, 30 minutes. Module three: breakout exercise...' Your session plan appears structured and ready to refine.
Does it work with training-specific terminology?+
Yes. Add your company's training programs, methodology names, assessment frameworks, and industry jargon to your custom dictionary. Ottex transcribes them accurately every time—no more fixing acronyms and program names in every document.
What about creating facilitator guides?+
Dictate your facilitator guide as if you're briefing another trainer. 'At this point, pause and ask the room for examples. Common responses include... If the group is quiet, use this prompt...' Your guide captures tacit knowledge that's hard to type but easy to speak.
