Frequently asked questions
Can I dictate video scripts that sound natural?+
Yes—and that's the whole point. When you type scripts, they often sound stiff on camera. When you speak your script, it naturally has your voice, your rhythm, your personality. You're literally practicing delivery while writing. The script sounds like you because it is you.
How does this help with YouTube descriptions?+
YouTube descriptions need keywords, timestamps, links, and structure—but writing them is tedious. Dictate the core content naturally, use formatting commands for structure ('new paragraph', 'dash'), and let Ottex handle the transcription. A description that takes 10 minutes to type can be dictated in 2-3 minutes.
Can I create pinned comments and community posts?+
Absolutely. These are high-value touchpoints that most creators rush through. Speak your pinned comment with intention, dictate community posts while the video uploads, capture poll ideas on the fly. Every piece of content around your video—done by voice, done faster.
What about sponsor integration scripts?+
Sponsor reads need to sound natural—forced ad reads kill viewer trust. Speaking your sponsor integration lets you find the natural rhythm, test different segues, and create copy that feels like part of the video, not an interruption. Practice the delivery while you write it.
How do I capture video ideas before they disappear?+
Press Option+D anywhere on your Mac and speak your idea immediately. 'Video idea: React to that viral clip about AI. Hook: Everyone's getting this wrong. Main point: Here's what they're missing.' Captured in 5 seconds. Never lose a video concept to a forgotten thought again.
Does it work with my workflow in Notion or Google Docs?+
Yes. Ottex works system-wide on macOS—anywhere you can type, you can dictate. Notion, Google Docs, YouTube Studio, Obsidian, even browser-based tools. One dictation tool for your entire content workflow.
How accurate is it for YouTube-specific terms?+
Gemini 3 Flash (cloud model) delivers 99.1% accuracy and handles YouTube terminology well—thumbnails, CTR, watch time, algorithm, A-roll, B-roll. Add creator-specific terms to your custom dictionary for perfect accuracy on your niche vocabulary.
What does it cost?+
Free forever with local models—no subscription required. With BYOK (bring your own API key), most creators spend $1-3/month on actual usage. Or choose the $9/month premium for zero-config cloud transcription with included credits.
