Frequently asked questions
Can I really code without typing?+
With AI coding agents, yes. Speak your architectural decisions, describe the changes you need, and let Cursor or Claude Code write the code. Ottex handles the dictation, AI handles the implementation.
Does it understand programming concepts?+
Yes. Add your project's terms, library names, and API references to your custom dictionary. Ottex transcribes technical prompts — 'refactor the auth middleware to use BetterAuth' — accurately.
How much can I reduce my typing?+
Users with RSI report reducing keyboard use by 90-95%. Voice prompts handle the creative and architectural work; you only type for small edits and navigation.
Does it work with Cursor, VS Code, and terminal?+
Yes. Ottex types into any text field on macOS — Cursor's Composer panel, VS Code's Copilot Chat, terminal for Claude Code, or any IDE.
