Why Ottex works for email marketers
Concrete benefits with real-world impact
Context Awareness
Optionally let AI see your screen for smarter responses. Reply to emails with full context, answer messages knowing the conversation history.
Smart Snippets
Define custom text replacements and shortcuts. Say 'work signature' to expand your full email signature, or 'my address' for your contact info.
Inline AI Commands
Transform text as you speak: 'Ottex start fix grammar Ottex end'. Edit, improve, translate—all by voice.
Voice Corrections
Say 'scratch that' to delete mistakes, 'actually' to rephrase. Fix errors without stopping your flow or touching the keyboard.
Accurate Transcription
Cloud AI models transcribe your voice with 99% accuracy. Filler words like 'um' and 'like' are automatically cleaned up.
Better Context, Better Results
Speaking naturally gives AI agents more context than typing. Describe your intent, explain edge cases, mention file names—your voice carries nuance that typing shortcuts.
Works with AI Chatbots
Dictate prompts to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity—anywhere you type. Better prompts, better answers.
App-Specific Modes
Ottex detects which app you're in and adapts. Coding mode in Cursor, casual tone in Slack, professional in Gmail—automatic context switching.
Global Shortcuts
Start recording with Option+D, use Push-to-Talk, or cancel with Esc. All shortcuts are fully configurable.
Works in Any App
System-wide on macOS—Ottex works wherever you can type. No app-specific integrations needed.
Filler Word Removal
Automatically removes filler words like 'um', 'uh', 'like', 'so' from your transcription. Get clean, professional text without verbal hesitations.
Precision Typing
Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.
What you can do
Respond to Emails
Dictate email responses with the right tone. Use context awareness to see the full thread, then speak your reply naturally.

Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate directly into Mailchimp or Klaviyo?
Yes. Ottex works anywhere you can type on macOS. Dictate directly into Mailchimp's email editor, Klaviyo's flow builder, HubSpot's email composer, or any browser-based tool.
How do I create A/B test variations quickly?
Dictate your base email, then speak variations: 'Now give me a more urgent version' or 'Same message but friendlier tone.' Use AI commands to transform tone inline: 'Ottex start make this more conversational Ottex end.'
Does it help with subject lines?
Absolutely. Subject lines require rapid iteration. Dictate 10 subject line variations in under a minute. Use ChatGPT with voice prompts: 'Give me 15 subject line variations for an abandoned cart email, mix urgency and curiosity.'
Can I maintain consistent brand voice?
Yes. Create custom modes for different campaign types. Your welcome sequence mode can be warm and friendly, while your promotional mode is punchy and urgent. Ottex switches automatically based on context.
How does voice help with AI-assisted copywriting?
Speaking naturally gives AI more context. Instead of typing a brief prompt, dictate: 'Write an abandoned cart email for our sustainable clothing brand, friendly but with urgency, reference the specific product, and include a 10% discount.' Better prompts = better AI copy.
What does it cost?
Free with local models, or ~$1-3/month with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key). Optional $9/month premium includes Gemini 3 Flash with zero setup. You control your costs and your data.
