Hey HN - It’s Finn and Jack from Aqua Voice (Aqua Voice - Fast Voice Input for Mac and Windows). Aqua is fast AI dictation for your desktop and our attempt to make voice a first-class input method.

Finn is uber dyslexic and has been using dictation software since sixth grade. For over a decade, he’s been chasing a dream that never quite worked — using your voice instead of a keyboard.
Our last post (Launch HN: Aqua Voice (YC W24) – Voice-driven text editor | Hacker News) about this seemed to resonate with the community - though it turned out that version of Aqua was a better demo than product. But it gave us (and others) a lot of good ideas about what should come next.
Since then, we’ve remade Aqua from scratch for speed and usability. It now lives on your desktop, and it 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. It does a lot more, but that’s the core. We’d love your feedback — and if you’ve got ideas for what voice should do next, let’s hear them!
