After watching the video demo and logging in, I was able to compose and edit text easily. Nice job.

My own use case is a bit different from many others who have commented here. I'm a reasonably fast typist and don't currently have any physical or neurological issues that might make typing difficult. I have tried voice input methods a number of times over the years, as I thought speaking would be faster than typing, but I always went back to typing due to accuracy problems and difficulty editing.

Aqua Voice does seem to be a significant advance. I'm going to try it out from time to time to see if I can get comfortable with voice input. If I can, I will subscribe.

I drafted this comment using Aqua Voice, but I ended up editing it quite a bit with a keyboard before posting.



I don't think there is genuine use cases to this except for accessibility features etc. I always doubted voice; however, I'm beginning to see that Oai Voice Engine will potentially be huge and incredibly addicting to chat to. I.e. it's more interesting to confide in a human sounding 'friend' that vanilla ChatGPT with keyboards.


Appreciate it.

I think the preference for voice versus typing is something that hits everyone differently, and I think as the reliability and speed improves, more and more people will find themselves using voice as a "tool in the toolbox," which aside from the occasional "Hey Siri, set a timer," isn't the case today.
