#153I used this to type an email on my phone, the editing process in particular was very smooth once I realised I had to wait a little bit. You can have ten of my dollars per month.

#154This is excellent and very impressive. Have you thought about offering this as an API? I'd bet there are lots of startups that want to easily integrate better speech-to-text for conversational AI (e.g. word correction, adding punctuation, etc), and would pay you for the service. (Personally, I would! Email me at matt@syntheticdreamlabs.com if you're interested in offering it as an API, I'd be pretty curious about pri…
Yes, upvote for this please! We would pay to integrate this into our SaaS for our users.

#155This 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.

Awesome. Agree on the copy-paste annoyance, we're working on more clients.
But I do think that the reliability needs to take a few more steps before it becomes a true keyboard replacer.

#157Tried it. Seemed quite impressive. Two issues: - it consistently uses word two instead of to - forcing Google OAuth as the only way to sign up is not a good idea. That prevented me from signing up.
Did you wait for the text to turn blue and then black? And were the twos still wrong then? The real-time text is non-final tokens and has many more errors than what is ultimately committed to the document (but committing is slower than we'd like at the moment).

Thanks! Sorry about the lag, today was slower than normal, but we need to improve latency overall.

#159Holy crap I’m blown away by the demo. That was so easy and natural to use.
I had a brush with RSI some years ago. I’m good now with an ergonomic keyboard and better habits (water, exercise) but it brings me great comfort knowing something like this exists. Thank you!

#160Congrats on the launch. The demo is truly impressive. On my Apple cell phone with a Chrome browser, the latency feels a little sluggish (I am sure you are working on it). Congrats again and all the best!
Thanks, appreciate it. We can do a lot better than most people experienced today in terms of latency.
