LoquaReview: speech typed into the open app

ProductivityText Tools
Freemium

Loqua is a Mac and Windows app that types what you say into whatever field you have open. Press one shortcut and talk in Slack, Mail, Notion or your browser. Clean text appears at the cursor with the filler removed, and it adds lists and headings based on how you spoke. You finish the email or Slack reply right where you are, with nothing to copy over from a notes app. The same shortcut can rewrite selected text by voice, translate into more than 100 languages as you speak, or take a screenshot of a chart or error and answer questions about it. It needs the internet to process speech, but your history stays on your device. After a 14-day Pro trial, the free plan gives you 5,000 words and 10 screenshot questions a week. It doesn't work offline and there's no phone app yet.

TMRW VERDICT

Dictation that stays in the document

by TMRW Team·Oct 4, 2026

AudioPen works like a recording booth. You ramble and it gives you a draft in another tab. Loqua does a different job. It lets you finish the email, the Slack reply or the Notion doc without leaving it. The test is simple. If clean text lands where your cursor is, the tool earns a keyboard shortcut. If you still have to copy it back, it's just another notes app.

The extras are useful but easy to oversell. Asking about a screenshot helps when a spreadsheet or an error is already on screen. Translating as you speak helps if you draft in one language and send in another. Neither is why you'd install it. You install it because the dictation built into your computer leaves the ums in and gives you one long wall of text.

Best for people who spend their day in Mail, Slack and Docs and hate typing. If AudioPen's record-then-edit approach is all you need, if you need it to work offline, or if you're waiting for an iPhone app, skip it. The 14-day Pro trial answers the only question that matters: after a week, are you still reaching for the shortcut, or are you back to typing?

AxonSheet

AxonSheet

ProductivityBusiness Tools

AxonSheet is an Excel add-in for doing AI work across lots of cells at once, in the sheet you already have open. Paste in a Word or Markdown dump and it becomes rows. Select empty cells and it fills them using the data around them. You can add a column by describing it in a sentence, add rows that match the table, rewrite cells, or have it look things up on the web and put the results in the grid. If something looks inconsistent, it leaves a comment on the cell. Everything happens inside Excel. It's $49 once for lifetime access, but you plug in your own OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter or Ollama key and pay that provider for usage. That's good for privacy and a small hassle to set up. It doesn't work in Google Sheets. And it won't tell you what your numbers mean unless you ask it to.

ToneBird

Text ToolsProductivity

ToneBird drafts replies inside whatever app you're typing in: Gmail, Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord, WeChat, Lark or X, on Mac or Windows. Click the green orb or press Option twice. It suggests three replies, you tweak one, and it pastes it in. It never hits send for you. What makes it different is memory. It keeps a card on each person, remembers what you promised them, and pulls facts from your files, so the $2,400 you agreed on comes from the actual proposal. The tone changes with the person. A client chasing a deadline gets different wording than a teammate checking in. It keeps a list of what you owe people and can set up calendar events from a chat. Your tone settings and person cards stay on your device, but message content goes to the AI provider. Free is 15 drafts a day for 30 contacts. Standard is $9.90 a month and Pro is $39.90.

Hola AI Voicemail

Hola AI Voicemail

Productivity

Hola AI answers the calls you miss. When you're busy, don't pick up, or the phone is off, the call forwards to an AI assistant that talks to the caller, finds out what they want, and sends you a summary by push, text, or email. Calls land in an inbox tagged Work, Family, Appointment, or Delivery, spam goes to its own tab, and you can call back or mark a call important with one tap. It uses your existing number through call forwarding, so there's no new SIM and no second number. You can choose from seven voices and personalities and greet saved contacts by name. Every call keeps a recording and a searchable transcript, and you can delete a single call or all of your data. It's on iPhone and Android, at $4.99 a month for the first six months and $9.99 after that, with a three-day free trial.

Meeting.ai

Meeting.ai

ProductivityBusiness Tools

Meeting.ai takes a meeting and turns it into the document you'd otherwise make afterwards. Paste a Google Meet, Zoom or Teams link and a bot joins the call. For meetings in a room, record in the browser or the phone app. You get the transcript, the minutes, and a one-page Visual Note of what was decided. Ask it to turn this morning's stand-up into notes and action items and that's what you get. From the same thread you can make the follow-up, like a campaign review, an investor update or notes from a contract negotiation, exported as PowerPoint, Word, Excel or PDF. Intern is €28.50 a month for about 16 hours of online meetings. Manager is €47.50 for about 27 hours with a stronger model, and Director is €66.50 with unlimited in-person notes. Each revision costs coins again, so changes add up.
