A dictation app for writers, not meetings.
TL;DR. Meeting tools make transcripts. ORAT helps writers make pages. Speak the messy version, then shape it into prose that still sounds like you.
Most dictation tools stop at transcription
Voice memos, meeting transcribers, and phone dictation hand you a wall of speech. Useful for notes. Not useful for a manuscript.
Writers need structure, tone, projects, and revision
A writer's tool needs paragraphs, dialogue formatting, project organization, voice continuity, and export. ORAT is built around those needs.
How ORAT differs from meeting transcription tools
Tools like Otter solve a different problem: capturing who said what in a call. ORAT is for the writer alone with their own voice, trying to make a chapter.
Use cases
Novels, memoir, essays, blog posts, speeches, sermons, academic writing.
Example: raw voice to polished prose
Raw voice: um okay so she walks into the room and she's like really nervous right because she hasn't seen him in like ten years no wait eleven years and the whole place smells like that cologne he used to wear
After ORAT: She walks into the room nervous, because she has not seen him in eleven years. The whole place smells like the cologne he used to wear.
Formatting, not invention. Every word here was actually said.
