Excel Voice Dictation

Narrate your data, formulas, and notes without touching the keyboard.

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

Write where you work

Excel is powerful but data entry and labeling are slow. With Aqua, you hold a key and speak cell content, column headers, notes, and comments at up to 230 words per minute. Whether you are building out a model or annotating a spreadsheet for a colleague, speaking is faster than typing every value by hand.

Aqua handles the precise language of spreadsheet work. Numeric labels, formula descriptions, category names, and financial terminology all come through accurately. Use it to narrate the context of your data, leave clear notes for collaborators, or work through a large labeling task faster than you could with the keyboard alone.
