Frequently asked questions
Can it handle tax terminology?+
Cloud AI models like Gemini 3 Flash understand tax terminology: IRC sections, IRS forms, depreciation methods, MACRS, Section 179, K-1s, and thousands of other tax concepts. For client names, entity structures, and specialized terms, add them to your custom dictionary for consistent accuracy.
Is it secure for confidential client information?+
With BYOK, your audio goes directly to your API provider (Google, OpenAI, or Deepgram) using your own API key. Ottex never stores or sees your data. You control the entire data pipeline and can review your provider's compliance certifications.
Does it work in tax software and spreadsheets?+
Yes. Ottex works system-wide on macOS, so it works in Excel, Google Sheets, tax preparation software, client portals, and any other application where you can type.
Can I use it for documenting client advice?+
Absolutely. Dictate detailed tax advice memos with full context instead of brief notes. Speaking naturally captures the reasoning behind your recommendations because it takes less effort than typing.
