Frequently asked questions
Does Ottex work with Discord?+
Yes. Ottex is system-wide on macOS and works anywhere you can type. Discord channels, DMs, server announcements, community posts. One hotkey (Option+D) for everything.
Can I match my streaming personality in text?+
That's the point. When you speak, your natural voice comes through. Your Discord updates sound like you because they literally are you talking. No more corporate-sounding announcements that feel off-brand.
How does this help with highlight descriptions?+
After a 3-hour stream, describing 10 highlight clips by typing is exhausting. With Ottex, you just talk through what happened: 'This is the clip where I finally beat the boss after 47 attempts, chat was going insane.' Done in seconds.
What about sponsor reads and ad copy?+
Speak your sponsor reads naturally, the way you'd deliver them on stream. They sound authentic because you're not typing them like a script. Use voice corrections to adjust phrasing: 'scratch that, use code MYNAME20 instead.'
Can I use it for stream notes during broadcast?+
For timestamps and highlight notes during stream, yes. Press the hotkey, speak 'mark for highlight, just hit diamond rank,' and keep streaming. Review your notes post-stream to find the moments.
How much does it cost?+
Free forever with local models (Whisper runs on your Mac). For cloud transcription with better accuracy, bring your own API key (~$1-3/mo) or use premium ($9/mo) for zero-config setup.
