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 am super excited to launch Loqua today, our next generation voice agent that understands your voice and screen, and it keeps getting better.
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 LLMs, we built one full agentic 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 and vloggers. A developer speaks a change straight to their coding agent in Codex 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.
Your keyboard isn't going away — you'll just need it less.

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. 🙏
Love that Loqua understands what's on screen instead of just transcribing, turning voice into an actual action layer for rewriting, scheduling, and coding rather than a fancy dictaphone.
I always avoided voice typing because I ended up spending more time fixing the output afterwards.
Can I use Loqua during research when I need to quickly understand screenshots, charts, and diagrams?
How long does setup actually take? I don't want to spend 20 minutes configuring another AI tool.
Congrats! Btw can designers use screenshot Q&A to get feedback on UI decisions?
I get a lot of my best ideas when I'm on the move or can't type — and by the time I sit down at my laptop, the thought's already gone. Loqua's "speak it and it becomes usable text/action" approach solves a real problem here. Really curious how it performs on scheduling and coding workflows via voice — that seems like the most exciting use case. Good luck with the launch!
Congrats @joshua_zhou731 . I am Leo founder of AI API Platform: Flaq.AI. Loqua is an interesting product. The idea of speaking naturally and getting polished output is exactly how AI should work.
My biggest concern with voice tools is always accuracy. One wrong word can completely change the meaning.
Most voice tools capture words. Loqua seems to understand where those words belong. That's a much bigger shift.
few minutes trying it and I like it!! Specially the real-time translation. Congrats!
This feels closer to having an AI assistant next to you rather than another text box to type into.
How did you make the website? Is it vibecoded or framer or Vercer? Like it!
Switching between apps and rewriting the same thoughts in different formats wastes so much time. Glad Loqua exists!
Does screenshot Q&A work with any app on Mac, or only supported applications?
Could I use Loqua to explain a complex idea verbally and turn it into a polished document?
The screenshot feature is such a natural interaction. Instead of explaining what you're looking at, you just show it.
Heyyyy Congrats for your launch🎉 Louqua sounds interesting! Also I'd like to know could this replace the 1st draft process for writers and content creators?
Can Loqua keep the original speaking style while improving grammar and structure?
