Aqua Voice guides: every page on this site about Aqua Voice, by topic
By Ryleigh Newman · Published
This is an index of the 9 pages on this site about Aqua Voice, grouped by what you are trying to do: get started, change a setting, fix a problem, understand the price, or compare it with something else. It is not Aqua Voice's official documentation, which is at aquavoice.com/guide.
I built YapToText, a different dictation app for the Mac, so read what I say about Aqua Voice with that in mind. Every fact on these pages comes from Aqua Voice's own site, with the date it was read.
This app is completely free. You don't have to make an account. There are no subscriptions, no difficult downloads, and nothing is locked. Made for Apple silicon Macs. Source on GitHub.

How these pages are made
Each page takes its facts from Aqua Voice's own pages, names the article it came from, and gives the date I read it. When Aqua Voice changes something, the page can be wrong until I catch it, so the date matters. The official source is Aqua Voice's own user guide, and that is the place to check anything that affects money or data.
I built YapToText, a free dictation app for Apple silicon Macs, which makes me a rival, and each page says so. The comparison page sets the apps side by side.
