Amazing! I'm french and I'd like to know if there is a chance I can dictate in french to Aqua Voice someday? If yes, any idea when that would be implemented? Great work!

> People want something flashy: "Up to 7x fewer errors than macOS dictation" is cool, a comparison table is not. Respectfully disagree on this one: as a startup, you can't effectively compete with the likes of Apple on flashiness. However, the very target market of those dictating large amounts of text will include a significant number of people in academia themselves. For those people, Aqua Voice will feel relevant.…
One of my favourite nitpicks, but IMO 7x fewer errors means -6 times the error rate. Maybe error rate reduced by 86%.
Isn't it just errors_count/7? (errors_count * 1/7)
For example, if you got 70 errors before you now get only 10 errors.

#213This is really great. I was hoping someone would build this: https://bprp.xyz/__site/Looking+for+Collaborators/Better+Loc... I would really happily pay $10 / month for this, but what I really want is either: - A Raycast plugin or Desktop app that lets this interact with any editable text area in my environment - An API that I can pass existing text / context + audio stream to and get back a heartbeat of full document…
I would also love to integrate this into text areas in my app, or as an editor of a JSON object.
That would let me quickly build an interface for editing basically any application state, which would be awesome!

#214One more piece of feedback: I'd like the new note page to have a unique route so that I can make a shortcut for creating a new note to easily put somewhere else in a document

#215Really cool product! The demo worked well for me. This must be incredibly useful to so many people.

#216would subscribe in a heartbeat if i could upload audio files for transcription.

There should probably a community effort to build an open-source version of this around Obsidian?

From exploring this segment for a while, I believe that dictation software is the "brick" in the hair-on-fire analogy (hence, it provides some relief, but is far from an actual solution). There is a form of water (scribes on retainer) but it is too expensive for all but the most profitable of specialties. The problem to be solved is not "dictation but better," but "take this cognitive load away from doctors, and keep…

#219I think I would pay for this in a heartbeat if it was more "available", as in not just a web app. I'd love a native app where I could use this in any textbox (web, app, etc) on my Mac. Ideally I'd be able to remap the key I use for mac dictation. I think I'd be fine with a popup where I write all the text and then it just inserts it after it finishes (so you can just render your UI and paste in the result instead of needing to interact with existing text fields.

#220I've wanted something like this for data entry for a while now. I often find my hands full measuring things and need to take notes. Can this output/format tabular data?
When I was playing around with the demo, I gave it a list of things to do and then asked it to convert the list to a markdown table and label the second column estimated duration. It worked like a charm. It set the first column heading to "Description" even. I was then able to go through my list very quickly and add times to each item. The one failure I had was when I asked it to add whitespace to visually align the…
Thanks, I'll have to try it out. Ideally I'd like to ask for a table with lettered/numbered columns and rows, and then just call out "B6 is 2.024" as I go.
