Octo listens to your voice and drops formatted text into your email client or document editor across every app on your system.
You talk—Octo transcribes and edits at the same time. The AI removes all the "ums" and false starts. It formats your spoken words into proper sentences. You don't copy anything from one window to another. Text appears directly where you need it.
Octo works on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android. You can dictate an email in Gmail. You can draft a document in Word. You can write Slack messages without touching your keyboard. Octo claims you'll hit 220 words per minute (compared to the typical 45 wpm from typing). That's what it offers: speak at the speed you think instead of being throttled by ten fingers.
A customer support rep could respond to tickets by talking through responses naturally. No more typing the same explanations repeatedly. The personal dictionary feature learns names and industry terms. It picks up whatever unusual vocabulary you use regularly.
The free download includes core voice-to-text functionality. No trial period mentioned—the base version's just available.
Editing happens in real time. Sounds useful until you realize you might need to slow down or enunciate more clearly than normal conversation. But for anyone who thinks faster than they type (or deals with repetitive strain from constant keyboard use), Octo offers a genuine alternative to the input method we've been stuck with since typewriters.
