If you spend most of your day dictating code, Cursor prompts, or technical documentation, and you are comfortable with cloud transcription (or trust the opt-in Privacy Mode), Aqua Voice is the best-tuned tool for that specific workflow. Typilot wins when audio and text must never leave the device, when you need Linux, when you want a broader AI surface beyond voice, or when you want a lifetime license.
For voice/dictation, yes - and Typilot keeps the whole pipeline on your machine. Aqua Voice is still the better pick if your day is dominated by coding dictation and technical vocabulary, and cloud processing is acceptable.
With Privacy Mode off (the default), Aqua's policy states they may securely store transcript data on their servers. Enabling Privacy Mode stops collection. Typilot has no transcript server - everything stays local.
Yes. Typilot ships on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Aqua Voice supports Mac, Windows, and iOS - no Linux.
Aqua Voice wins on coding and technical-term accuracy - its Avalon model is specifically trained on coding vocabulary and AI prompt phrasing. Typilot uses Whisper, which is multilingual and general-purpose; the trade-off is breadth vs. depth on technical terms.
