Use Case

Write Documentation

Dictate technical documentation, READMEs, or API docs. Speaking lets you explain context, edge cases, and examples naturally—better docs with less effort.

VS Code

Example dictation

so the authentication flow works like this colon new paragraph first the client sends credentials to the auth service second the auth service validates against the database and returns a JWT token third the client stores the token and includes it in subsequent requests new paragraph note colon we're using r s 2 5 6 for token signing

Read this example aloud, or say something of your own.

Ottex outputs

The authentication flow works like this: 1. The client sends credentials to the auth service 2. The auth service validates against the database and returns a JWT token 3. The client stores the token and includes it in subsequent requests Note: We're using RS256 for token signing

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.

Loose notes become a richer organized plan.

Technical Term Accuracy

Cloud AI models excel at technical jargon, code terminology, and specialized vocabulary.

An engineering notebook keeps API, async and JSON terms clear.

Custom Dictionary

Add names, technical terms, and jargon. Ottex transcribes them accurately every time.

A personal card file organizes names and specialist vocabulary.

Inline AI Commands

Transform text as you speak: 'Ottex start fix grammar Ottex end'. Edit, improve, translate—all by voice.

Hands transform paper into a new form.

Precision Typing

Say 'new paragraph', 'open quote', 'em dash', 'ellipsis'. Full formatting control by voice.

Punctuation blocks organize a clearly formatted page.

Frequently asked questions

Can Ottex handle technical terms and code references?

Yes. Add your project's API names, library names, and technical terms to your custom dictionary. Ottex will transcribe them correctly every time.

Does it work in VS Code and other editors?

Yes. Ottex types into any text field — VS Code, GitHub's web editor, Notion, Confluence, or wherever you write docs.

Can I dictate Markdown formatting?

Yes. Say 'heading', 'bullet point', 'code block' and Ottex formats accordingly. Custom modes can enforce Markdown-specific formatting rules.

Why is voice better for documentation?

When you speak, you naturally explain context, edge cases, and examples. This produces better documentation than when you type and unconsciously skip details.
