Why Ottex works for recruiters & hr
Concrete benefits with real-world impact
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate directly into our ATS?
Yes. Ottex works anywhere you can type: Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or any web-based ATS. If there's a text field, Ottex works.
How do I capture structured interview feedback?
Use precision typing commands like 'bullet point' and 'heading two'. Say 'Technical skills: strong' and Ottex formats it properly. Add AI commands to structure feedback into consistent templates.
Is it secure for candidate information?
Yes. With BYOK (bring your own key), your audio goes directly to your API provider. Ottex never stores your data. Use local models for 100% on-device processing. Perfect for confidential candidate information and GDPR compliance.
Can I create templates for common responses?
Yes. Use smart snippets to save frequently used phrases like rejection emails, scheduling messages, or feedback templates. Say 'interview schedule template' and expand the full text instantly.
Does it work with LinkedIn?
Yes. Ottex works in LinkedIn messages, InMails, and job postings. Dictate personalized outreach to candidates at scale.
What does it cost?
Free with local models (Whisper runs on your Mac). With BYOK cloud models like Groq, expect ~$1-3/mo for typical recruiter usage. Optional $9/mo premium includes Gemini 3 Flash with zero configuration.
