One hotkey, every app
Tap to toggle recording, hold for push-to-talk. When you stop, the text auto-pastes at your cursor. No app switching, no copy-paste ritual, no separate window to babysit.
Use case
Voice typing on your Mac
Voice typing on your Mac is one hotkey away: press it, say what you're thinking, and the words appear at your cursor, in your email, your editor, your chat, wherever you're working. You speak far faster than you type, and oto keeps up entirely on-device.

Stay in flow
Thinking speed, not typing speed.
Voice typing isn't a novelty act. Your hands are the bottleneck between an idea and the screen, and this removes them.
Your words, spelled your way
A custom Dictionary teaches oto your names, products, and jargon, so "Kubernetes", your coworker's surname, and your project codenames come out right the first time.
History has your back
Every transcription lands in a searchable history with playback. Said something great an hour ago? Find it, re-paste it from the menu bar, or export it.
How it works
Press. Speak. Done.
1. Put your cursor anywhere
An email draft, a Slack thread, a code comment, a search box. Wherever text goes, voice typing works.
2. Press the hotkey and talk
Speak naturally. oto transcribes on your Mac as you go, with local engines that never send audio anywhere.
3. Text appears at your cursor
Release or tap again, and the finished text pastes right where you were, clipboard preserved, flow unbroken.
What it is, and isn't
oto is voice typing, not voice control: it turns speech into text at your cursor, but it won't click buttons or launch apps for you. It types wherever a cursor can blink, which means any app that takes text.
Common questions
Before you start talking.
Does it work in every app?
If the app has a text field and a cursor, yes. oto pastes the finished text wherever your cursor is, so it works in browsers, editors, chat apps, and everything in between.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Voice typing runs on-device by default with local engines. There's no account to sign into and no server between your voice and your text.
