Loqua is a voice-first desktop productivity app for Mac and Windows. Speak naturally to dictate polished text in any app, ask questions about what is on your screen, edit selected text by voice, create calendar events and reminders, open webpages, and complete supported desktop actions without breaking your flow.

Yes. Loqua supports both macOS and Windows.

Both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs are supported.

Loqua supports 64-bit Windows devices.

Not yet. iOS and Android support is coming soon.

Then open Loqua, sign in, and complete onboarding.

Sign in with your Google account or email address.

No. Loqua currently needs an internet connection for speech processing and related AI features. Your Loqua history is stored locally on your device; online processing and local storage are separate.

Up to 6 minutes. When you reach the limit, Loqua saves the current dictation to History.

Loqua works with most apps and text fields. Some apps restrict direct text insertion; when that happens, your transcription remains available in Loqua History.

Microphone permission lets Loqua hear and process your voice input.

Accessibility permission lets Loqua insert text and interact with supported desktop workflows.

Microphone and Accessibility permissions are required for basic dictation. Agent features can be turned off without affecting core dictation.

Open System Settings, go to Keyboard shortcuts, and remove or reassign any system action using the same key combination.

Open Loqua Settings and choose a different activation shortcut.

In Loqua, go to Settings → About → Check for update.

Yes. Loqua removes filler words, repetitions, and abandoned phrases while refining your wording in real time.

Yes. Loqua can infer headings, lists, hierarchy, and other useful structure from your speech, so you do not need to dictate formatting commands.

Yes. Loqua can translate your dictation into another language as you speak.

Loqua supports 100+ target languages for translation.

Add names, technical terms, project vocabulary, and other recurring words to your personal dictionary. Your corrections also help Loqua recognize your vocabulary and speaking style more accurately over time.

Loqua identifies words from your usage and adds them to your personalized dictionary. Those dictionary entries are what count toward your Personalization score.

You can ask about text, charts, dashboards, error messages, interfaces, reports, slides, diagrams, formulas, and other visible content.

Yes. Capture to Ask works on both macOS and Windows.

Yes. Select part of Loqua’s response, then ask a follow-up by voice using that selection as context.

Screenshots are saved locally on your device only.

No. Your screenshots and questions are not used to train AI models.

No. Loqua sees your screen only when you actively trigger a screenshot and ask about it. Outside that user-initiated flow, Loqua does not access your desktop.

Select text on your screen, trigger Loqua with Fn + Space, and say “read this” or “read this article.” Loqua starts playback in a floating audio bar at the bottom center of your screen.

You can move to another app while playback continues. Use the floating bar to pause or stop at any time.

Adjustable playback speed, file-to-speech, and more voice choices are coming soon.

Yes. Read Aloud works with selectable text, whether or not the text is editable.

Read Aloud works across desktop apps as long as the text is selectable.

Yes. Read Aloud works on both macOS and Windows.

Read Aloud currently supports English. It includes a default male voice, a default female voice, and several additional English voices to explore. More languages and voices are coming soon.

Not yet. Playback speed and voice controls are in development.

Not quite. Read Aloud is built for quick, hands-free listening inside your everyday desktop workflow.

The website TTS preview offers more voice choices and adjustable speed. It helps us explore upcoming voice capabilities and gather feedback; selected capabilities will gradually move into the in-app Read Aloud experience.

• Dictate: turn natural speech into polished text in any app.

Mac currently has the broadest support, including supported workflows in apps such as iMessage, FaceTime, and Notes. More system controls, including display brightness and keyboard lighting, are planned.

Windows support is growing. Voice Actions currently include web browsing, with more capabilities being added over time.

Loqua always asks before sending. It will not send a message on its own; the final decision stays with you.

Actions that communicate with another person require confirmation, including sending a message or placing a call through supported apps such as iMessage and FaceTime.

Not directly through Loqua. If the target app supports undo, you will need to use that app’s controls manually.

Cancel the action before confirming it. If an action has already been completed, use the target app to delete, cancel, or reverse it manually where possible.

Yes. Open the Agents tab and turn off the relevant permissions. Dictation will continue to work normally.

Yes. Loqua has a Free plan.

No. A credit card is not required upfront.

The Loqua Pro trial lasts 14 days.

The Free plan includes 5,000 words per week.

Pro includes unlimited dictation, full context intelligence, multimodal screen reading, and other advanced capabilities. See the pricing page for the current plan comparison.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Yes. In Loqua, go to Account → Subscription to cancel. You keep access through the end of your current billing period.

You can request a refund within 14 days of your subscription taking effect. The refund is the remaining balance after the cost of used days is deducted; discounted subscriptions calculate used days at the standard rate.

After 14 days, you can cancel future renewal and keep access through the current billing period, but that period is not refunded.

Team and enterprise plans are coming soon. For enterprise or API inquiries, email official@theloqua.ai.

No. Your voice, text, screenshots, questions, and action history are not used to train AI models. Loqua history is stored locally on your device.

Online AI features transmit the content needed to process your request. That processing is separate from the local history Loqua keeps on your device. Read our Privacy Policy for more detail.
