Why Ottex works for scrum masters
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.
Voice Corrections
Say 'scratch that' to delete mistakes, 'actually' to rephrase. Fix errors without stopping your flow or touching the keyboard.
Inline AI Commands
Transform text as you speak: 'Ottex start fix grammar Ottex end'. Edit, improve, translate—all by voice.
Precision Typing
Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.
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.
Technical Term Accuracy
Cloud AI models excel at technical jargon, code terminology, and specialized vocabulary.
Smart Snippets
Define custom text replacements and shortcuts. Say 'work signature' to expand your full email signature, or 'my address' for your contact info.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ottex during live ceremonies to take notes?+
Yes, that's the primary use case for Scrum Masters. Hit your hotkey and dictate notes as standup, planning, or retro happens. Use Push-to-Talk mode to capture specific points. Your notes appear in real-time in Jira, Notion, or wherever you're documenting.
Does Ottex work with Jira, Confluence, and Miro?+
Yes, Ottex works system-wide on macOS—anywhere you can type. Create Jira tickets, update Confluence pages, add Miro stickies by voice. No special integrations needed.
How do I capture action items during retrospectives?+
Simply dictate them as they're assigned. Say 'Action item: Sarah to document the CI process by Friday' and Ottex transcribes it cleanly. Use auto-lists by saying 'one, two, three' for multiple action items.
Will my team documentation stay private?+
You have full control. Use local Whisper models for 100% offline transcription—nothing leaves your Mac. Or use BYOK (bring your own key) where audio goes directly to your API provider, never through Ottex servers.
Can I correct mistakes while dictating during ceremonies?+
Yes, use voice corrections. Say 'scratch that' to delete the last sentence, or 'actually' to rephrase. For example: '3 points, actually 5 points' becomes '5 points'. No need to stop facilitating to fix typos.
How do I format retro themes and action items?+
Use precision typing commands. Say 'heading 2 What Went Well' for sections, 'bullet point' for lists, 'new paragraph' for spacing. Or define snippets like 'retro template' that expand to your full retrospective format.
Can Ottex help with coaching notes after 1:1s?+
Yes. Stay fully present during coaching conversations, then immediately after, dictate your notes. 'Met with Jason about career growth. He wants to move toward technical leadership. Action: connect him with Sarah for mentoring.' Captured while memory is fresh.
Why is voice better than typing for ceremony documentation?+
You've been speaking since age one—20+ years of practice. Speaking is embedded in your brain, automatic, effortless. Typing requires concentration, you make typos, press backspace, lose the conversation. Speaking at 150 WPM vs typing at 40 WPM means you capture everything without breaking your facilitation flow.
