Voice Formatting

Ottex automatically formats your speech into clean, structured text.

All formatting features can be enabled or disabled in Settings → Voice to Text.

Automatic Lists

When you use numbered words (one, two, three) or ordinal words (first, second, third) to enumerate items, Ottex automatically formats them as a numbered list.

You say

"So I want to buy groceries for today first tomatoes second cucumbers, some grapes, some cherries, and for the meal it shall be turkey and lentils."

Ottex writes
Groceries for today: 1. tomatoes 2. cucumbers 3. grapes 4. cherries 5. turkey 6. lentils

Spoken Punctuation

Say punctuation words out loud to insert symbols precisely where you want them.

You saySymbol
"comma",
"period".
"question mark"?
"exclamation point"!
"colon":
"semicolon";
"dash"
"quote""
"open parenthesis"(
"close parenthesis")
"h1 / header one"#
"bullet point"-
You say

"I can't wait to see you exclamation point Let's meet at seven period"

Ottex writes
I can't wait to see you! Let's meet at 7.

New Lines & Paragraphs

Use trigger words to create line breaks and separate ideas cleanly.

  • "new line" — inserts a single line break
  • "new paragraph" — inserts two line breaks (new paragraph)
You say

"When is reading club new line should be tomorrow"

Ottex writes
When is reading club? Should be tomorrow.

Backtrack Corrections

Made a mistake? Say "actually" or "scratch that" followed by the correction, and Ottex will fix it for you.

You say

"Let's meet at 2 actually 3"

Ottex writes
Let's meet at 3
You say

"I'll bring cookies scratch that brownies"

Ottex writes
I'll bring brownies
TipUse "actually" or "scratch that" immediately after mistakes rather than restarting your entire dictation.

Alternate Corrections

When you naturally restate a phrase, Ottex recognizes it and uses your final version.

You say

"I wanted to buy a record as a gift… as a present"

Ottex writes
I wanted to buy a record as a present.

Automatic Filler Removal

Ottex automatically removes filler words like "um", "uh", "like", and "so" from your transcription.

You say

"So um I was thinking like maybe we could uh meet tomorrow"

Ottex writes
I was thinking maybe we could meet tomorrow
