Loqua

Loqua is a desktop assistant that combines fast voice dictation with screen-aware questions and spoken editing. It runs across Mac and Windows and is designed to work in any active text field, including email, chat, documents, design tools, terminals, and code editors. The vendor says it removes filler words and repetition, automatically recognizes headings and lists, adapts tone and formatting by application, and can translate spoken input into nearly 100 target languages. A separate capture-to-ask workflow lets users take a screenshot and ask a question about what is visible without leaving the current task. These capabilities make Loqua practical for people who write large volumes of messages, users who benefit from hands-free input, multilingual teams, support staff preparing replies, and professionals who need quick interpretation of on-screen material. Its claimed dictation speed is 220 words per minute, compared with a traditional keyboard benchmark of 45, though individual results will vary. The Free plan provides 5,000 dictated words and 10 screen captures each week, plus core cleanup, translation, a small personal dictionary, and basic context detection. New accounts receive a 14-day Pro trial. Pro adds unlimited dictation and capture, full context intelligence, and an unlimited dictionary, but numeric monthly and annual prices were absent from the fetched HTML, so pricing needs manual verification. Loqua states that history is stored on-device, data is not used for training, and cloud providers use zero retention. No MCP support was mentioned on the fetched pages.
