Ottex detects which app you're in and adapts. Coding mode in Cursor, casual tone in Slack, professional in Gmail—automatic context switching.

Start recording with Option+D, use Push-to-Talk, or cancel with Esc. All shortcuts are fully configurable.
Works in Any App
System-wide on macOS—Ottex works wherever you can type. No app-specific integrations needed.

Automatically removes filler words like 'um', 'uh', 'like', 'so' from your transcription. Get clean, professional text without verbal hesitations.
Precision Typing
Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.
Accurate Transcription
Cloud AI models transcribe your voice with 99% accuracy. Filler words like 'um' and 'like' are automatically cleaned up.
Context Awareness
Optionally let AI see your screen for smarter responses. Reply to emails with full context, answer messages knowing the conversation history.

Frequently asked questions
Can I create captions for multiple platforms at once?
Yes. Dictate your core message once, then use app-specific modes to adapt the tone automatically. Ottex can format casual for TikTok, professional for LinkedIn, and punchy for Twitter—all from the same dictation session. You create once, publish everywhere.
How does tone adaptation work per platform?
Custom app modes let you define formatting rules for each platform. When you're in Buffer scheduling for LinkedIn, Ottex uses professional formatting. Switch to TikTok and it shifts to casual, emoji-friendly text. The mode switches automatically based on which app you're in—no manual toggling.
Can I respond to comments faster?
Significantly faster. Instead of typing individual replies to 50 comments, you speak them naturally. Press the hotkey, say your reply, move to the next comment. Clear 100+ comments in 30 minutes instead of spending hours typing. Your community feels heard, and you don't burn out.
Does it work with scheduling tools like Buffer and Later?
Yes. Ottex works system-wide on macOS—anywhere you can type, you can dictate. Buffer, Later, Hootsuite, native platform apps, even web browsers. One tool for your entire social media workflow.
How do I add hashtags by voice?
Say 'hashtag' followed by the word. 'hashtag marketing hashtag socialmedia hashtag contentcreator' becomes '#marketing #socialmedia #contentcreator'. You can also use precision typing commands like 'new line' and 'new paragraph' to format posts exactly how you want them.
Can I batch-create content for the week?
Absolutely. This is where voice dictation shines. Open your scheduling tool, dictate caption after caption. No hand fatigue, no typing burnout. Create a week's worth of content in one focused session. Many social media managers report creating 50+ captions in under an hour by voice.
What about content calendars and planning?
Dictate your content calendar directly into Notion, Google Sheets, or your planning tool of choice. Speak your post ideas, scheduling notes, and campaign briefs. Capture ideas the moment they hit you—press the hotkey, speak, done. Never lose a content idea again.
What does it cost?
Free forever with local models—no subscription required. With BYOK (bring your own API key), most social media managers spend $1-3/month on actual usage. Or choose the $9/month premium for zero-config cloud transcription with included credits.
