What's great
I do a lot of writing and text-based communication every day for work. Before Aqua, that meant that I was constantly hammering away on my keyboard all day. After beginning to use Aqua, though, I can literally sit back in my chair and just dictate everything I need to. It also means that I can typically get longer thoughts out faster and easier by just talking. Even if that includes technical terms or code blocks. With the streaming mode, it also makes it really easy to go back and edit or even format the text before I even paste it in. It's become the de facto way that I write on my computer.
What needs improvement
While not a major issue, I have had times where I will have a long text block that does not get pasted correctly after I finish. I've been able to get over this by just going into the clipboard history and copying and pasting myself, but it's a bit of an annoyance when one of the main reasons I use Aqua is for the speed.
vs Alternatives
I tried a couple of other voice-to-text options, and I ultimately picked and have stuck with Aqua because it's the fastest and has the best accuracy of any of the ones that I've tried. Its overall design and UX also just makes sense to me. It just immediately became a part of my workflow.
