Apple Mail Voice Dictation

Speak your emails and send them sounding exactly like you.

Hold a key. Speak your thoughts. Keep your flow.

Write where you work

Apple Mail is where a lot of people handle their most important correspondence. Typing every reply takes time you often do not have. With Aqua, you hold a key and speak. Your email appears in the compose window, structured and ready to send, at up to 230 words per minute. Personal, professional, or somewhere in between.

Aqua reads the email you are replying to so it understands the tone and context before you say anything. It adapts automatically: warm and personal for one-to-one correspondence, clear and professional for business replies. Names, organizations, and the specific language of your work go into your custom dictionary so every email sounds like it was written, not transcribed.
