About

Your thoughts shouldn’t have to slow down for a keyboard. With Loqua, you can speak naturally to turn rough ideas into ready-to-use writing, understand what’s on your screen, listen when you’d rather not read, and move work forward by voice - from rewriting and translation to scheduling and coding workflows. Less typing, less context switching, more time in flow.

AI Summary

Loqua is an AI-driven productivity tool that converts spoken ideas into written content, facilitating tasks such as rewriting, translation, and scheduling. It enhances workflow efficiency by allowing users to interact with their devices through voice commands instead of typing.

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.

<p>Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Josh, founder of theloqua.ai.<br><br>I've spent my whole career as a speech and LLM researcher — and honestly, no voice product ever did what I actually needed. So I know exactly where ASR and voice agents break.<br><br>It got personal when carpal tunnel, TFCC, and an old ski injury turned long hours at the keyboard into real pain. I live at my desk, deep in conversation with LLMs all day, and typing simply couldn't keep up with how fast I think. I wanted to speak the way I think — not the way I type.<br><br><strong><em>Not a wrapper</em></strong><br><br>Old dictation was a cascade of small models — transcribing <strong><em>sounds</em></strong> but never understanding <strong><em>meaning</em></strong>, and one mis-heard word broke everything downstream. So our team — a group of research scientists who've spent years training and optimizing models — set out to build it properly. <strong><em>Loqua is not a wrapper.</em></strong> Instead of gluing everything to an LLM, we built one full omni model where your voice and your screen share the same context.<br><br>That single choice is what makes Loqua different. When you Capture to Ask — point at a chart, an error, or a table on your screen and just ask by voice — it reads code and tables more reliably, holds context better, and runs noticeably faster than bolt-on tools, thanks to a multimodal tokenizer and codec we designed ourselves. And because we train the model in-house, we keep sharpening it to real product needs and your feedback, every week.<br><br><strong><em>Where we're headed</em></strong><br><br>Voice and vision are only step one, though. The real direction is agentic — Loqua doing things for you. Say "remind me to send the Q4 draft at 3pm, and FaceTime Sarah" — and it happens, without you digging through menus or breaking your train of thought. Those little app-hunting detours are exactly what wreck your focus; Loqua takes them off your hands by voice so you can stay in the zone. And that's just our first attempt — next we're going after longer, multi-step tasks you can hand off in a blink and a simple sentence.<br><br><strong><em>What you can do today</em></strong></p><p><br>✍️ Speak, get polished text in any app<br>⚡ Capture to Ask — ask about anything on your screen<br>🎯 Get things done by voice across your Mac<br>🔊 Listen instead of read<br>🌐 ~100 languages, on macOS &amp; Windows<br><br><strong><em>Who it's for</em></strong><br><br>It clicks fastest for people who live at a keyboard and now spend much of the day talking to AI — developers, PMs, researchers. A developer speaks a change straight to their coding agent in Cursor or Claude Code. A PM turns a rough spoken thought into a clean Slack update. Someone points at a chart on screen and just asks. And honestly, whatever you do all day — if your thinking outruns your hands, Loqua is for you.<br><br>AP, Yahoo Finance &amp; PR Newswire just covered us: *"Voice-to-text was never enough.

<p>workflow is actually kind of addictive.</p>

<p>This feels closer to having an AI assistant next to you rather than another text box to type into.</p>
