Awesome
wow! this is a very convenient tool!
great idea
This is amazing
google recently improved the integration between gemini and gmail how does that affect your product ?
It's in no way affecting Ottex AI. You still have hundreds of applications and websites where you want to have voice-to-text input, as in PeerPush right now. PS: I used Ottex AI to write this comment.
Love WisprFlow so will give it a try. What's the difference with it?
I’m actually a huge fan of WisprFlow and I used it for a long time myself! To be honest, Ottex is heavily inspired by it, so you’ll find the experience very familiar.
The main difference here is the BYOK model - you have to provide your OpenRouter API key to use the app.
Hey! I built Ottex because AI features in WisprFlow could be replicated using Gemini 3 Flash. What really matters is the UX, so I spent a ton of time to make it incredibly smooth.
