Aqua Voice review

Aqua Voice targets people who dictate into technical tools. You hold a key, speak, and Aqua pastes the text where your cursor is, and its homepage leans heavily on use in coding assistants, Slack and chat. Free includes 1,000 words with the Avalon 1.5 model and Deep Context, which is enough for a trial rather than daily use. Pro costs $10 per month billed annually or $12 month to month and adds unlimited words, custom instructions and a personal dictionary. Max at $19 annually or $24 monthly adds Realtime Mode, where you see words as you speak, plus a send voice command and early access. Business at $19 per seat billed annually adds team billing, SSO, usage reports and zero data retention, with a two seat minimum. Students with a school email get 70% off. The free allowance is small compared with Superwhisper or Willow, so most users should plan on paying.
