How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Aqua Voice when dictating emails, documents, and slack messages hands-free across desktop apps matters most, and M(ø)deReferat (MinuteMate) when recording in-person meetings on a phone and receiving the minutes by email matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

Danish AI minutes app by Alia ApS that records a meeting and emails back structured minutes, with EU (Sweden) data processing.
Aqua Voice is an AI dictation tool built by Aqua Voice, Inc. (a Y Combinator startup) that converts spoken words into written text in real time. Rather than a standalone transcription window, it works system-wide: users hold a key (such as Space) and speak, and the dictated text is inserted into whatever app is in focus, including Gmail, Google Docs, Slack, code editors, and AI chat tools. It runs on macOS and iOS, with the iPhone app now live. Aqua is powered by Avalon, the company's proprietary speech-to-text model trained on prompt-style speech, code, and email, and it refines grammar and phrasing as you talk. It supports context awareness of on-screen content, a custom dictionary for technical terms and names, natural-language editing commands ("make this a list," "rephrase that"), style adaptation, and multilingual input across dozens of languages. It is aimed at developers, knowledge workers, and content creators who want a faster alternative to typing for emails, documents, messages, prompts, and code.

M(ø)deReferat, marketed internationally as MinuteMate, is an AI meeting-minutes app from Alia ApS, a Danish company based in Stege, Denmark that has delivered software solutions to clients such as the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation and Roskilde Municipality. The product lets users record a meeting and automatically receive detailed, professional minutes by email. It supports Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English, transcribing and generating minutes in the selected language. M(ø)deReferat is delivered as mobile apps for iOS and Android and uses Microsoft Azure services, with Azure Whisper for transcription and an Azure GPT model for summarization. Its privacy model emphasizes EU data processing: all processing takes place on Microsoft Azure servers in Sweden within the EU, the AI models are used only for language recognition and summarization rather than training, and audio recordings together with generated text are deleted as soon as the minutes have been emailed, so no meeting data is retained after delivery. The service offers several pricing tiers ranging from a free option through higher individual and team plans. The website carries a 2026 copyright and lists current plans, indicating the product is actively operating in 2025/2026. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
