Aqua Voice

Aqua Voice is system-level dictation for Mac, Windows and iPhone with a sharp sense of its moment: voice is becoming the primary interface for AI prompts, and dictation tools built for "writing emails" choke on prompt syntax. Aqua turns speech into clear text in real time for everything from AI prompts to essays, handles technical terms and custom vocabulary well, supports 49 languages, and applies your formatting instructions ("make that a bullet list") as it transcribes.

The credibility markers are unusually strong for a dictation startup: SOC 2 Type II, public privacy and security docs, and a transparent freemium pricing page.

Who it's for: heavy AI-prompt users, people who dictate long-form, and anyone with RSI who types less than they'd like. The free tier makes it a no-brainer to test against your accent and vocabulary; $8-24/month tiers cover serious use. The real test is how it handles your field's jargon — try it on your hardest vocabulary before committing.
