Voice-first dictation for Mac and Windows that formats as you speak.
Who is Loqua best for?
Loqua is best for people on Mac or Windows who write a lot of messages, documents or code and would rather speak.
Heavy messaging and email
It strips filler words and repetition as you talk, so dictated text lands ready to send in Slack, Gmail or any text field.
Structured notes and updates
Spoken points come out as lists and headings without you having to dictate the formatting.
Writing across languages
Speak in your own language and get the text in another, even when you switch language mid-sentence.
Developers and screen work
One shortcut works in any app, including VS Code and the terminal, and Capture to Ask answers questions about part of your screen.
