## What they share

Both work system-wide on Mac and Windows, turning speech into text in any app's text field. Both support multiple languages and custom vocabulary.

## Where VoiceOS pulls ahead

VoiceOS has major advantages in speed, accuracy, and features. Plus, it can actually do things, not just type:

- **Agent Mode:** Execute real actions across Slack, Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Drive, Docs, and Sheets. Not just text output.
- **Multi-step chaining:**"Search the weather, email the team about it, and share the folder on Drive." One command.
- **Web search:** Search the internet by voice and feed results into follow-up actions.
- **300ms processing:** Significantly faster than Aqua Voice's 500ms to 1 second latency.
- **98%+ accuracy:** Significantly higher accuracy with context awareness compared to Aqua Voice's ~85 to 90%.
- **100+ languages:** Double the language support compared to Aqua Voice's 50+.
- **Automatic dictionary:** VoiceOS learns terms automatically. Aqua Voice requires manual entry.
- **Enterprise ready:** SOC 2 Type II certified with team features and enterprise controls.

## The real enemy: context switching

Dictation tools like Aqua Voice make you a faster typer. That's great. But you still have to switch apps to respond to a Slack message, send an email, or create a calendar event. VoiceOS removes that entirely. A Slack notification comes in while you're coding? Say "reply that I'll look into it after lunch" and it's sent. You never leave your editor. You never break your flow.
