Frequently asked questions
Does Ottex work directly inside Slack?
Yes. Ottex types into any text field on macOS, including the Slack message composer. Just press your hotkey, speak, and your reply appears in the channel.
Can I use casual tone for Slack but formal for email?
Yes. Ottex supports custom modes per app. Set up a Slack mode that keeps your tone casual and a Gmail mode for professional writing — it switches automatically.
How fast can I clear my Slack inbox?
Most users report replying 3x faster by voice. A message that takes 2 minutes to type takes 30 seconds to dictate.
What if I need to mention someone or use emoji?
You can say 'at-mention Sarah' or type @ after dictating. Ottex focuses on getting your message text right — you can add Slack-specific formatting after.
