In the past when I've been in the USA, I've legit had to put on an American accent when calling for taxis and the like! I don't even have that strong an accent, and I always try my best to enunciate correctly when talking to others shrug
I'm getting married in Scotland in December and will presumably want to be able to demo so you can bank on priority support and a hard deadline :)
I developed an RSI-related injury back in 94/95 and have been using speech recognition ever since. I would love a solution that would let me move off of Windows. I would love a solution allowing me to easily dictate text areas in Firefox, Thunderbird, or VS code. Most important, however, would be the ability to edit/manipulate the text using what Nuance used to call Select-and-Say. The ability to do minor edits, repl…
You should check out cursorless… it may be more directly targeting your use case
My use case is dictating text into various applications and correcting that text within the text area. If I have to, I can use the dictation box and then paste it into the target application.
When you talk about using speech recognition for creating code, I've been through enough brute-force solutions like Talon to know they are the wrong way because they always focus the user on the wrong thing. When creating code, you should be thinking about the data structure and the environment in which it operates. When you use speech-driven programming systems, you focus on what you have to say to get the syntax you need to make it compile correctly. As a result, you lose your connection to the problem you're trying to solve.
Whether you like it or not, ChatGPT is currently the best solution as long as you never edit the code directly.

Thank you! We love hearing stories like this. We want to get Aqua into as many places as possible — and will go full tilt into that as soon as the core is extremely extremely solid (this is our focus right now). Great lessons from Dragon Dictation. Would love to learn more about the speech recognition user group meetings! Are those still running? Are you a part of any?
FWIW, I am fleeing Fusebase, formally known as Nimbus, because they "pivoted" and messed up my notetaking environment. In the beginning, I went with Nimbus because it was the only notetaking environment that worked with Dragon. After the pivot, not so much. I'm giving Joplin a try. Aqua might work well as an extension to Joplin, especially if there was a WYSIMWYG (what you see is mostly what you get) front-end like Rich Markdown. I'd also look at heynote.
Also latency seems to be a bit slow, wish it was faster, maybe thats due to traffic now
How's the dictation accuracy compare to Talons latest model, or Microsoft's new voice access? Or dragon? You've got a few comparisons already but nothing that I actually use.
What's the latency like?
At least for me a general voice editor isn't useful, give me something that can send text to wherever my mouse is pointing and that's useful. Then make sure it works with Microsoft's voice without borders, synergy, barrier, input director etc.
Oh and does it support a user dictionary?

I wish Siri, Alexa, et al would do this as well. They seem to expect you to speak perfectly the first time.
