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.
"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."
Spoken Punctuation
Say punctuation words out loud to insert symbols precisely where you want them.
| You say | Symbol |
|---|---|
| "comma" | , |
| "period" | . |
| "question mark" | ? |
| "exclamation point" | ! |
| "colon" | : |
| "semicolon" | ; |
| "dash" | — |
| "quote" | " |
| "open parenthesis" | ( |
| "close parenthesis" | ) |
| "h1 / header one" | # |
| "bullet point" | - |
"I can't wait to see you exclamation point Let's meet at seven period"
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)
"When is reading club new line should be tomorrow"
Backtrack Corrections
Made a mistake? Say "actually" or "scratch that" followed by the correction, and Ottex will fix it for you.
"Let's meet at 2 actually 3"
"I'll bring cookies scratch that brownies"
Alternate Corrections
When you naturally restate a phrase, Ottex recognizes it and uses your final version.
"I wanted to buy a record as a gift… as a present"
Automatic Filler Removal
Ottex automatically removes filler words like "um", "uh", "like", and "so" from your transcription.
"So um I was thinking like maybe we could uh meet tomorrow"
