Frequently asked questions
Can it handle legal terminology accurately?+
Cloud AI models like Gemini 3 Flash are trained on legal documents and understand standard legal terms like 'deposition,' 'discovery,' 'interrogatory,' and 'subpoena.' For case-specific terminology (client names, case numbers, opposing counsel), add them to your custom dictionary for consistent accuracy.
Is it secure for confidential case 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, maintaining confidentiality for sensitive case materials.
Does it work in Microsoft Word and legal research databases?+
Yes. Ottex works system-wide on macOS, so it works in Word, Google Docs, Westlaw, LexisNexis, and any other software where you can type. One dictation tool for your entire legal workflow.
Can I use it to summarize depositions and case documents?+
Absolutely. Dictate detailed summaries while reviewing documents. Speaking naturally captures more nuance and context because it takes less effort than typing the same information.
