Voice Dictation for Students
Ace your papers. Skip the typing.
Write essays, research papers, and emails 3x faster. No student discount needed—Ottex costs $1-3/month with BYOK pricing. That's cheaper than a coffee.
The problem
Sound familiar? These are the challenges that voice dictation solves.
Essays take forever to type
You know what you want to say, but typing it out takes hours. Your brain works faster than your fingers.
Research papers are exhausting
Synthesizing sources, writing arguments, proper citations—by the time you're done typing, you're too tired to proofread.
Expensive tools eat your budget
Student discounts help, but $6-15/month for dictation adds up. That's textbook money or, let's be honest, food money.
AI chatbots need detailed prompts
ChatGPT and Claude work better with context. Typing long prompts is slow—you end up asking lazy questions and getting mediocre answers.

AI editing while you write
