It’s Finn from Aqua!
Aqua lets you talk into any text box. It's our attempt to make voice a first-class input method.

Live Demo.
I'm dyslexic and have been using dictation software since 6th grade. For over a decade, I've been chasing a dream that never quite worked - using your voice instead of your keyboard.
It's always been awkward, clunky, and just not actually better than typing. Siri is a complete joke, and a lot of well-meaning alternatives (I've tried them all) don't actually transform where you can use your voice.
Aqua lives on your desktop, and it lets you talk into any text field -- Cursor, Gmail, Slack, even your terminal. It does a lot more, but that’s the core. We’d love your feedback!

@finn_brown Congrats on the launch Finn! I had started testing out @Wispr Flow and felt it was much more accurate than using iOS dictation. How is @Aqua differentiating itself from @Wispr Flow ?

@ph_leeanntrang Thanks! We're going to do iOS, but we're going to do iOS the right way. You might prefer Aqua over Flow Voice if you want:
⚡ Faster Inference. Fewer mistakes(see benchmarks). More tuned output.
🎙️ Streaming mode: the dream for longer stuff, pacing around and dictating Churchill style.
🧠 Deep Context: increases accuracy when coding, messaging, and other complex scenarios by privately using what's on your screen. Think of it like MCP for every app that you don't have to setup.
🎛️ Custom Instructions: You can fine tune your output to get it just right:
Example: "Use lowercase in iMessage. In Figma, don't add periods or ending punctuation. Often used commands when in terminal, cursor, vscode: ..."
As you can see from some of the other comments, a lot of people have tried both and we've been having waves of people switch from Flow and then email us and say, "I've tried them all - you guys are #1."
(i posted this in another comment too but wanted ppl to see because this at the top!)

@finn_brown awesome, thanks! I did notice the usecase of the different "styles" in diff apps. I haven't needed that yet, but that may grow on me. I will def give it a try!

Congrats on the launch — I recently gave Aqua a spin recently and I have to say, it’s hands down one of the most seamless and polished tools I’ve used. Incredible job building something that just works.
I’d love to make it part of my daily workflow, but I’m still a bit cautious about how Aqua handles data — especially with the deep context features that tap into what’s on my screen. That said, the transcription quality is unmatched. Nothing else like it out there -- will use that as daily driver.
@finn_brown Aqua looks great and could potentially replace @Wispr Flow for me. However, I was wondering about data privacy, as I couldn't find any details on your website. Flow explicitly states that "none of your transcripts will be stored by us." How does Aqua handle this? For example, are user audio files used for model training?
Love Aqua Voice — it's super fast, accurate, and clever. Big fan.

@desmond_ren1 the fastest way to do it!
