Aqua Voice
Fast voice-to-text with editing by voice command.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the voice & audio job, so this one still earns its $10/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- OS-level dictation and rival voice tools. OpenAI, February 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? paid only
- 2 replacements listed, all paid.
- What the call is worth $120/yr
- $10/mo at the entry paid tier — $120 a year per seat.
