Aqua Voice changelog - speed and reliability

I just saw the Aqua Voice changelog and thought it was a great example of a product that's focused on the right things. It's no secret that a lot of us on the Product Hunt team are fans of Aqua Voice, especially @jakecrump ! Here's their latest changelog:

0.4.0

This is a "Snow Leopard" release focused on making the basics faster and more reliable.


Startup & Activation

  • Faster startup, especially on spotty connections

  • Predictive microphone management increases consistency and reduces cases of missing the first or last word

  • Better performance when your internet connection is slow

Fixes and Improvements

  • Reduced overall resource usage

  • Fixed a rare bug that could cause audio resources to linger in memory longer than necessary

  • Improved caching of client components for better performance

  • Added more server locations for lower latency

  • Various bug fixes and performance optimizations

@finn_brown Aqua's gotten impressively fast over the last couple months since launch. Really, really nice work!

I'm wondering if the following are on your radar:

  • whispering / near-silent speech detection, so you can dictate quietly - for example, at a recent off-site, I found myself wanting to dictate more quietly so I didn't bother the people at the table around next to me.

  • An iOS app, I know this is pretty gnarly to execute, so I'm not necessarily pushing for it.

@rajiv_ayyangar you could try @Wispr Flow 's iOS app, which just launched today!

Love seeing a release that respects the user's time and attention. Speed, stability, and quiet improvements > flashy features any day.
