Why Ottex works for lawyers & legal
Concrete benefits with real-world impact
Custom Dictionary
Add names, technical terms, and jargon. Ottex transcribes them accurately every time.

Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.
Privacy First
No screen capture, ever. Your audio goes directly to your API provider. Ottex never sees your data.
Voice Corrections
Say 'scratch that' to delete mistakes, 'actually' to rephrase. Fix errors without stopping your flow or touching the keyboard.
Smart Snippets
Define custom text replacements and shortcuts. Say 'work signature' to expand your full email signature, or 'my address' for your contact info.

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.

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.
