Voice typing in any Windows app
Word, Outlook, Teams, Slack, Chrome: if you can place a cursor in it, you can dictate into it. No per-app setup.
Already using Windows voice typing?
Windows voice typing (Win+H) is free and built in, and if you dictate a few sentences a month, it may be all you need. Aqua is built for the other case: people who write for a living and need dictation they can trust all day. Here is what changes when you switch:
97.3% accuracy on the AISpeak benchmark, our public test of names, jargon, and technical vocabulary
Automatic punctuation and formatting, with filler words cleaned up as you speak
A custom dictionary for your own names, products, and terms
49 languages, with the same real-time experience in each
The same behavior in every app you type in, from Word to your browser
The honest trade: Aqua processes audio in the cloud, so it needs an internet connection. Our security practices are independently audited (SOC 2 Type II).
Speech to text that keeps up
Aqua listens at up to 230 words per minute and refines as you speak, so the text that lands is the text you meant.

Accuracy you can check before you pay
Avalon, the model inside Aqua Voice, scores 97.3% on AISpeak, our public benchmark of AI and technical vocabulary. Whisper Large v3, the leading open-source speech model, scores 65.1% on the same test. At its October 2025 debut, Avalon ranked #1 among proprietary models on the public OpenASR leaderboard.
AISpeak measures word accuracy on speech full of AI and technical terms, the vocabulary generic models miss most.
Or skip the reading: your first 1,000 words are free, so you can test it on your own vocabulary before paying anything.

Frequently asked questions
Does Aqua Voice run on Windows 10 and 11?
Yes. Aqua Voice supports Windows 10 and 11, and one subscription also covers Mac and iPhone, so your dictation moves with you.
How is Aqua different from Windows voice typing (Win+H)?
Windows voice typing is free and built in, and for a few sentences a month it may be all you need. Aqua is for people who write all day: 97.3% accuracy on the AISpeak benchmark, automatic punctuation and formatting, a custom dictionary for your own vocabulary, and 49 languages, in every app you type in.
Is my audio private?
Aqua processes audio in the cloud, where the Avalon model runs; there is no offline mode. Our security practices are independently audited (SOC 2 Type II), and Team plans add an org-wide Privacy Mode.
What happens after my first 1,000 free words?
The free Starter allowance is your test drive: 1,000 words is about 7 minutes of talking at a normal pace. When you hit it, upgrade to Pro for $8/mo billed annually to keep dictating without limits.
What happens after I download?
Run the installer and grant microphone access when Windows asks. From there: hold the key, talk, release, and Aqua types into whatever app you are using.
Do Mac and Windows have the same accuracy?
Yes. Both run the same Avalon model, with the same 97.3% AISpeak accuracy and the same 49 languages.
