This is so cool! Great work. I'm writing this comment using Aqua Voice, and it's very impressive. I've been waiting for something like this. As a neurodivergent person, certain tasks (cough, email, cough) are about 10 times harder sitting down at my computer than they are handling them aloud with my assistant.
I'm sure you get this feedback 100 times a day, but I'd gladly pay a substantial amount to use this in place of the system dictation on my Mac and iPhone. Right now, the main limitation to me using it constantly would be the endless need to copy and paste from this separate new document editor into my email app or into Notion or Google Docs, etc.
Two more small pieces of feedback, in case they're useful:
- Consider a time-based free trial. As others have said, tokens are confusing, but also your model is unlimited so the chunk of tokens doesn't allow me to see what it might be like to actually use your product. I'm more than halfway through my tokens after writing an HN comment and a brief todo list for work, so I've been able to see what it'd be like to pay the $10 for about 5 minutes worth of work, which feels like a very short trial. A week, say, seems fair? And then you have some kind of cap on tokens that only comes up if someone uses an abusively huge amount (an issue, I'm sure, you'd face with paying customers too, right?)
- I had a bit of trouble with making a todo list—I kept wanting the system to do a "new line" or "next item" and show me a new line with a dash so I know I'm dictating to the right place, but I couldn't coax it into doing that for me. I had to sort of just start on the next item and then use my keyboard to push return. When making lists, it's good to be able to do so fluidly and intentionally as much as possible. Sometimes it did figure out, impressively, that long pauses meant I wanted a new line. But not always.
Thanks for all your hard work! Even, as a start, I found myself asking the app to copy the text to the clipboard for me without even thinking. Might be nice to be able to do that more seamlessly, just as a start?
You've moved us all a lot closer to my dream: taking a long walk outside, AirPods in, and handling the day's email without even looking at a screen once.
