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.

Nova A.I. (wearenova.ai) is an online, browser-based video editing platform built around AI subtitling and transcription. Users upload a video or import one from YouTube or TikTok, and Nova automatically transcribes the spoken audio into editable subtitles and a full text transcript. The same engine powers dedicated tools such as Video-to-Text and a Podcast Transcript Generator, so creators can turn recorded talks, interviews, and podcast episodes into written transcripts for repurposing. Transcripts and captions can be downloaded as SRT, VTT, or TXT files, edited for wording and style, hardcoded onto the video, and auto-translated into many additional languages. Around the transcription core, Nova adds standard editing tools: cutting, trimming, merging, resizing, transitions, text-to-speech, and templates. It is aimed at content creators, marketers, and video editors rather than at internal meeting note-taking. Nova runs entirely in the browser with no software install, and it lists transcription across dozens of source languages with translation across a much wider set.
