I am currently working remotely from EU against US and I wonder how the ongoing and escalating trade wars will affect us.

Anyone already being affected? What are your plans for the future?

Shortwave, the (up until now) most promising email client with DNA from the still unsurpassed and dearly missed google inbox, just removed the industry standard sidebar that shows email labels like inbox or archive with counts. When questioned about the disturbing move, the company answered this was necessary as the space was needed for "upcoming AI features". Has everyone now completely lost their minds? Are we approaching the NFT phase of AI products?

Hey HN! It’s Finn and Jack from Aqua Voice (https://withaqua.com). Aqua, which we have rebuilt massively, is our attempt to make voice a first class input method, which it is NOT today.

Watch the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-2UbSC0Zxo

Finn is uber dyslexic and has been using dictation software since sixth grade. For over a decade, he’s been chasing a dream that never quite worked — using your voice instead of a keyboard.

Our last post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39828686) about this really resonated (thanks!) but it turned out that that version was more of a prototype than a product.

But it gave us (and some others) a lot of good ideas about what should come next.

Since then, we’ve remade Aqua from scratch for speed and usability. It now lives on your desktop, and it lets you talk into any text field — Cursor, Gmail, Slack, even your terminal.

It starts up in under 50ms, inserts text in about a second (sometimes as fast as 450ms), and has state-of-the-art accuracy. There's a new "instant mode" for fire-and-forget dictation, with a streaming option for sentence-by-sentence writing.

It’s also context-aware: it tries to understand what you see to improve accuracy. You can customize its behavior with instructions that you set in the dashboard: for example, “Always use lowercase in Slack, and never start sentences with ‘And’”. It works in over 50 languages now.

Something new has happened too: developers have started using Aqua as a fast, fluid way to prompt LLM coding tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and Bolt. That’s been surprising — and it’s bringing a lot of new people into voice.

We’re still a small team, but this version of Aqua is ready for everyone. You can download and try it free at https://withaqua.com.

We’d love your feedback — and if you’ve got ideas for what voice should do next, let’s hear them.
