Hi Product Hunt, I'm Nanda Kumar, and I make LotusQ.
I built LotusQ to scratch my own itch. I was juggling several projects and typing too slowly, and the dictation tools I tried cost too much, didn't run on Linux (where I do most of my work), or stumbled on languages other than English. That last one is personal: my parents aren't comfortable in English, so even texting them was hard, and I know many people face the same thing. The hard part was making it accurate and fast, and making it work in every kind of app on Mac, Windows and Linux. Today LotusQ is accurate, multilingual, fast, and on Linux too.
Some of you may remember LotusQ's first launch, when it ran free models you downloaded to your computer. We moved to cloud transcription because those models weren't accurate enough to match cloud services, the downloads were large, and they ran poorly on less powerful computers.
LotusQ is now on iPhone. It's a keyboard you talk to: tap Start, speak, tap to stop, and your words are typed into whatever app you're in. Hold Start and slide to translate as you speak. Pick a style (Formal, Casual...) and add names to your dictionary so they come out right.
Setup is three steps: add the LotusQ keyboard, allow Full Access so it can hear you, and sign in.
We take privacy seriously. Your audio is turned into text and isn't stored on our servers, and neither we nor our speech partners use it to train AI models. The details are at lotusq.io/privacy
There are 78 languages. On iPhone, 74 of them are marked Beta.
Start with 7 days of everything. Then stay on Free: 2,000 words a week, every feature, one allowance across your phone and computer. Pro is unlimited dictation: lotusq.io/pricing
It's also on Mac (Apple silicon), Windows and Linux, with the same account.
One question: what's the first app you'd dictate into on your phone?
