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.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Josh, founder of theloqua.ai.
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.
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.
Not a wrapper
Old dictation was a cascade of small models — transcribing sounds but never understanding meaning, 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. Loqua is not a wrapper. Instead of gluing everything to an LLM, we built one full omni model where your voice and your screen share the same context.
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.
Where we're headed
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.
What you can do today
✍️ Speak, get polished text in any app ⚡ Capture to Ask — ask about anything on your screen 🎯 Get things done by voice across your Mac 🔊 Listen instead of read 🌐 ~100 languages, on macOS & Windows
Who it's for
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.

We're especially trying to figure out which workflows people most want to make voice-native. So I'm curious — what's something that's annoying to type today but would feel natural to just say out loud? I'll be in the comments all day. 🙏
How long does setup actually take? I don't want to spend 20 minutes configuring another AI tool.
The screen context part is what caught my attention. Being able to just point at something and ask instead of explaining what I’m looking at every time sounds genuinely useful. Curious to try this in my daily workflow!
This really looks fantastic. I have been using voice to text apps for a bit which has immensely improved my workflow but they have never been able to read the screen to get context on what I was looking at. One question though, is it able to see the screen live or just with screenshots?
Look forward to giving this a try.
Screenshot to ask is such a simple idea but removes so much friction. No more explaining screenshots manually.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 Context switching and formatting messy thoughts are huge friction points in daily workflows. Excited to try out the screen-reading feature alongside voice dictation best of luck today!
Really Interesting - do you think there’s value for folks who’s thoughts tend to come out non linear - can it narrow down and focus ideas as you’re spitballing?
for app actions, can i see exactly what loqua heard and plans to do before it runs anything
I switch between languages constantly. Does it understand multilingual workflows?
Congrats on shipping it, team! Where does that screen context actually get processes, is anything cached or logged on your end once it's captured?
I always avoided voice typing because I ended up spending more time fixing the output afterwards.
Woooh - can Loqua keep the original speaking style while improving grammar and structure?
This feels closer to having an AI assistant next to you rather than another text box to type into.
WOW, I like AI assistants more when I can clearly see when they're doing something versus just listening!!!
The screenshot feature is such a natural interaction. Instead of explaining what you're looking at, you just show it.
This is a really cool product, so many voice AI tools at the moment really don't work well, I've been looking for something to really help use AI voice in my day to day work!
