Orater makes ChatGPT feel native inside Docs

Orater is the app-aware gateway. You speak or type naturally, and the GPT-powered enhancement cleans up your doc text automatically.

Orater listens, converts voice to text, enhances for the platform, and pastes into the focused input.

There are no formatting commands to learn. Speak naturally and Orater enhances grammar, removes fillers, and matches the tone of the focused app.

No outline prompts, no formatting instructions, just cleaner text.

  1. Speak your outline.
  2. Speak key points.
