Thanks! We're faster, more accurate, and have a streaming option. Aqua can go from key-up to paste in as little as 450ms. Flow was closer to 1000 in our tests. Overall, you'll notice we make a few more tweaks to the output than Wisprflow. For example, Aqua + Cursor is very powerful - we syntax highlight your transcript. The easiest way to see this is to use streaming mode (double press Fn) + deep context + cursor and…
Thanks! I'm tempted to try Speech to Text + Cursor/Copilot for development. It's probably the future since most people can speak faster than they can type.

#22Interesting! A nice open-source alternative is VoiceInk, check it out: https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk do you also plan to open-source part of your platform?

#28How does it compare to https://wisprflow.ai ? btw, grats!

It has been a godsend in terms of increasing my productivity because I no longer have to type. I think your product's accuracy and latency shortening just make this even better. I often use it and then find out, "Hey, I need to make some changes," and I need to re-edit some of the stuff, which reduces the WPM productivity amount. So I think accuracy is definitely key here. Key metric to differentiate a product.
I am pushing this to other colleagues to get them to adopt. One challenge people are saying is that. One is that some people may not be as organized (you know, they might be a lot more organizationally structured in their mind). So for them, they're having trouble - they'd like to write things out, and by the time if things go out of their mouth, you know it's already formulated logical thought. Whereas you know people like me are a lot more verbal vomit type of person. For me it's huge because I say a lot of um like in all the other things I just dump stuff out and then organize it later.
Whereas other people organize stuff in their brain and then dump the information out. So people who do a lot of coordination and just you know so I feel like this could be two different segments to take into account.
Another one that's been fantastic is that we have multilingual colleagues who are speaking in Mandarin or something else and then they speak it and then ask Flow to be sent to translate it to a different language. That part I think has been fantastic.
I think the ability to edit what you wrote with AI is going to be the next key feature. Providing the context in the window is all wiithin the conversation right? For example, you just ask after because what you write out is not the final and you need to do a lot of editing and formatting. Sometimes when you say too much stuff, it's just like a huge jumble paragraph with a lot of fluff words. Make it clear, concise, trim non-effective words. I think those are a key feature because it's not about your productivity, it's about other people being able to ingest your information efficiently. At least that's what I look at from a managerial perspective.
To give you an example, everything I laid out above came from dictation. You can see how this is inefficient. There's a lot of inefficiencies here.

Hey, love the what you are building in this category. I've been using a competing product which you know very well about. They advertised about how you can improve your work per minute by dictation, which was the main draw for me because I do a founder. There's a lot of managerial work that I'm doing. It has been a godsend in terms of increasing my productivity because I no longer have to type. I think your product's…
Another feature that would be great is actually being able to have a conversation with an AI model first and then refine the output iteratively until you're ready and then pipe all that over. The ability to have a chat is very good or do this all through voice.

#30This looks like it'll slurp up all your data and upload it into a cloud. Thanks, no. I want privacy, offline mode and source code for something as crucial to system security as an input method.
