Finn Brown (Aqua Voice): The Frontier of Voice AI

Aqua Voice co-founder and CEO Finn Brown explains the company's thesis of making dictation feel like 'what if Steve Jobs did Dragon' — great quality, press a button, it works. He estimates voice's recent leap is 20% better models and 80% new techniques applied to the voice domain, describes how quickly users whipsaw to whichever app has the newest frontier model, and argues voice is an underexplored interface to a machine's internal state — maybe 10–15% of the way to HAL 9000. He also rates gooseneck mics, having owned one since sixth grade.
