Why Ottex works for recruiters & hr
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.
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.
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.
Smart Snippets
Define custom text replacements and shortcuts. Say 'work signature' to expand your full email signature, or 'my address' for your contact info.
Context Awareness
Optionally let AI see your screen for smarter responses. Reply to emails with full context, answer messages knowing the conversation history.
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.
What you can do
Write Job Descriptions
Dictate unique job descriptions that capture what makes the role special. Speaking helps you articulate culture, growth opportunities, and team dynamics naturally.
Write Candidate Feedback
Dictate interview feedback immediately after each call. Speaking lets you capture nuance and context that gets lost when typing quickly.
