Aqua Voice

What is Aqua Voice?

Aqua Voice is a system-level AI voice input tool designed for users who need to write emails, messages, documents, and AI prompts quickly. It converts spoken language into text that has been formatted with punctuation and adjusted in terms of context, which can then be entered into the text fields of various applications.

The product makes use of its own Avalon speech recognition model, with a focus on optimizing code, product names, abbreviations, and technical terms. It is currently available for macOS, Windows, and iPhone; on desktop versions, an internet connection is required for cloud-based recognition.

• Voice editing: Allow users to request changes to the previously transcribed text or to the currently selected text by speaking.
• Realtime mode: On the desktop version, text is displayed as you speak, reducing the waiting time associated with transcribing long passages.
