Frequently asked questions
Can it handle legal terminology?+
Cloud AI models like Gemini 3 Flash are trained on legal documents and understand standard legal terms. For specialized terminology (client names, case citations, statutes), add them to your custom dictionary for consistent accuracy.
Is it secure for confidential client information?+
With BYOK, your audio goes directly to your API provider (Google, OpenAI, or Deepgram) using your own API key. Ottex never stores or sees your data. You control the entire data pipeline.
Does it work in Microsoft Word and practice management software?+
Yes. Ottex works system-wide on macOS, so it works in Word, Google Docs, Clio, MyCase, and any other legal software where you can type.
Can I use it for billable time entries?+
Absolutely. Dictate detailed time entries with full context instead of vague descriptions. Speaking naturally captures more detail because it takes less effort than typing.
