New best story on Hacker News: Launch HN: Aqua Voice (YC W24) – Voice-driven text editor

Launch HN: Aqua Voice (YC W24) – Voice-driven text editor 359 by the_king | 125 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We’re Jack and Finn from Aqua Voice ( https://withaqua.com/ ). Aqua is a voice-native document editor that combines reliable dictation and natural language commands, letting you say things like: “make this a list” or “it’s Erin with an E” or “add an inline citation here for page 86 of this book”.
