Loqua is a context-aware AI voice typing and dictation application for Mac and Windows. It is designed to turn speech into polished text, aiming to understand intended meaning rather than only literal words. The product can be invoked with a keyboard shortcut from any text field so users can dictate directly into applications such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion, Slack, Gmail, VS Code, Terminal, Microsoft Teams, and others. According to its homepage, Loqua supports voice-driven work beyond dictation: users can get instant answers from screenshots, add events, open pages, and edit text without leaving their current application. The marketing highlights speed advantages over typing, citing a comparison of 220 words per minute for Loqua dictation versus 45 words per minute for traditional keyboard input, and claims users can save up to three hours per day. Loqua is distributed as a desktop app for macOS and Windows. The homepage advertises a 14-day free trial, and the product received a Product Hunt daily award. The site also lists a TTS page and separate pricing, blog, use cases, FAQ, and download sections, indicating an active product with supporting resources.
Solves
Typing is slower than speaking for many people, and traditional dictation tools often produce raw transcripts that require heavy editing or fail to capture context. Loqua addresses this by providing context-aware voice typing that turns natural speech into polished text and inserts it directly into the active application through a global shortcut. It also aims to reduce app switching by allowing screenshot-based questions and voice commands for common actions.
