Aqua is fast AI dictation that lets you talk into any text field -- Cursor, Gmail, Slack, even your terminal. It starts up in under 50ms, inserts text in about a second (sometimes as fast as 450ms), and has state-of-the-art accuracy.
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.
The most fluid yet customisable Voice to Text system I've tried (vs. Wispr Flow and SuperWhisper - which are also great products with their own strengths). Hope they release an iOS version soon! 🤞
Insane product, I wouldn't want to vibe code without it anymore. Aqua accelerated the speed at which I can code to light speed. Complete game changer!
Aqua Voice is an amazingly useful and reliable speech recognition system. I acquired a disability as an adult and used Dragon to adapt as an accessibility aid for decades. When Aqua hit the scene, it didn't take me very long to change to just using Aqua, and it's been months since I even started Dragon. To understand how wonderful Aqua Voice is, you need to have used Dragon. At first, Dragon was wonderful; it turned speech into text, but you had to watch it closely and edit what it recognized every sentence or two. If you're disabled, it's a lifesaver, but it's still highly annoying. In contrast, Aqua is sufficiently accurate; you don't need to edit the recognition results. And because Aqua is so accurate, using speech recognition when writing is much more relaxing. In order to get the sixth-star rating, I really need a Linux client that's on par with the Windows and Mac clients.
