Edit anything.
Just say the change.

Select text anywhere on your Mac or PC, hold your Aqua key, and say the change you want. Aqua rewrites the selection in place.

Edit Mode is free for every desktop user on Mac and Windows.

hold the aqua key and say “fix this sentence” sounds way too natural to be real

I'm really happy that the editing mode I wanted for AQUA Voice has finally arrived.

OMG, being able to edit voice with voice is a total game changer! I was about to ditch Aqua Voice, but this feature just won me over.

Three steps you already know

There is nothing to turn on and no second hotkey to learn.

[01]Select

Select any text, in any app.

Something you just dictated, something you typed last week, a paragraph in a doc. Anywhere you can drag a cursor.

[02]Hold

Hold your usual Aqua key.

A chip appears above the pill telling you what Aqua is holding: “12 words selected”.

[03]Say

Say the change.

Release, and the selection is replaced. No command words, no menus, no round trip to the mouse.

Hold the key with nothing selected and you get normal dictation, exactly as before. The mode is inferred from what you already did.

In practice

One draft, five fixes

Talk it out rough. Then say what is wrong with it, one command at a time, until it is ready to send.

There are no commands to memorize

If what you say is clearly a corrected version of what you selected, Aqua treats it as the replacement. No “change it to”, no “replace with”. You just say the sentence the way it should have been.

You selected

Hey John, let’s meet on Tuesday.

You say

“Hey John, let’s meet on Monday.”

You get

Hey John, let’s meet on Monday.

It works in any app: native text fields, browsers, Google Docs, chat and email clients, code editors, note apps, and the rich-text editors that usually break this kind of thing. Wherever you can select text, you can talk to it, with two deliberate exceptions: search fields and browser address bars stay on normal dictation.

Edits stack, and they undo

Aqua remembers the previous versions of the same selection, so you can iterate on a sentence out loud until it is right, then step backwards if you overshot.

“undo that”“go back one step”“go back to the original”

For people who edit all day

Aqua Voice’s edit mode is incredibly convenient. I can select the text I want to fix and instantly correct grammar, turn it into a list, change kanji, and more. I think I’ll be using the keyboard less and less...

アキユキ@Web制作

@akiyuki_gm

Aqua Voice’s update is amazing! Just select existing text and give a voice instruction, and the AI automatically rewrites it. This is too convenient...!

河合伸哉＠禅の町永平寺町の行政書士

@office_kawai

Aqua Voice’s edit mode and send feature got updated, making it even more convenient. Especially edit mode: after dictating a long passage, I can select all and just say things like line break at periods or turn into bullet points, and it executes accurately.

@tezlog10

Aqua Voice’s new edit mode is really great. Just select text, press the shortcut key I always use for voice input, and speak… you can make it lowercase, fix kanji misconversions, turn it into a list, or summarize it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Edit Mode a separate app or a separate plan?

Neither. It is part of the Aqua desktop app, on for every desktop user on both macOS and Windows, and it is not a separate purchase or tier. It shipped in desktop version 0.17.0, so an up-to-date app already has it.

Do I need to learn commands?

No. If what you say is clearly a corrected version of what you selected, Aqua treats it as the replacement. Select “Hey John, let’s meet on Tuesday”, say “Hey John, let’s meet on Monday”, and you get the Monday version. Instructions like “Fix the grammar” work too, but nothing is required.

What can I say?

Rewrites and length (“Make it shorter”), formatting (“Make this a list”, “Make this title case”), targeted replacements (“Change 5pm to 6pm”), spelling (“G-R-O-Q”), translation (“Translate to Japanese”), and deletion (“Delete that”). Edits stack, so “undo that” and “go back to the original” walk them back.

What happens if Aqua cannot tell what I meant?

Nothing changes. Rather than guessing, Aqua leaves the selection exactly as it was and the pill shows “Try rephrasing”. Say it again a different way and it picks up from there.

Where does Edit Mode not work?

Search fields and browser address bars always use normal dictation, so selecting a URL and speaking types a query instead of rewriting the URL. There is also a selection size limit of 6,000 characters: select a whole document and Aqua will dictate rather than try to rewrite it.

Is my edit history private?

Every edit is saved in History with the original selection, the result, and the exact words you spoke, so you can see what Aqua heard when something comes out unexpected. If you use Aqua in privacy mode, the selected text and its edit history are redacted at rest along with the rest of your transcript.

Does it work on iPhone?

The iPhone app has had its own voice edit mode since the iOS launch in April 2026, where you can edit your last transcript or your current selection. This page describes the desktop version, which edits the current selection in any app on macOS and Windows.

Edit Mode is free on every plan. The pricing page lists what each one includes.
