NovaVoice

Hey HN, Today I’d like to show what I’ve recently built with my 2 friends. We’ve called it Nova. The idea is to built all-purpose AI Voice Assistant, which is able to interact with mail, to-do apps, messengers and socials, task trackers, apps like UberEats, Notion and some other daily apps. How we decided to work on it: We’ve recently read YC Request for startups Summer25 and were inspired by the idea of AI Voice Assistant for Mail by YC partner Tyler Bosmeny. What we’ve got: We’ve gone a bit further than Assistant for mail only and connected Gmail, Todoist, Google Calendar, and…

NovaVoice launched on April 7, 2026 with 578 votes, #17 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

NovaVoice is a voice operating system that lets users control their desktop and applications through speech commands. It captures dictation at high speeds, provides an AI assistant accessible via hotkey, and executes app actions through voice alone, eliminating the need to switch between programs. The tool stores and recalls personal information like contacts and addresses, handling writing, answering queries, and task automation entirely through voice input. It's designed for productivity-focused users who want to minimize typing and app-switching.

From the sources

NovaVoice is Your Voice OS that lets you work at the speed of thought. Typing is slow. Switching apps breaks focus. Formatting wastes time. Speak at 200+ wpm, get context-aware text. Hit hotkey, ask anything without googling. Execute actions without switching apps (just with voice commands). NovaVoice remembers contacts, addresses, links. NovaVoice writes, answers, and acts across your desktop.

Nova is your voice-powered productivity copilot. Dictate 10× faster than typing with context-aware formatting. Execute real actions across apps by voice commands. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Reformat text to any style instantly — no need to switch to LLM or grammar tools. We built a product that helps users communicate more effectively by using AI technology to improve their writing . We built a product that helps users communicate more effectively by using AI technology to improve their writing . We never execute actions without your permission. You delegate the routine, but you stay in full control — 100%. • "Send this to Tony" — we already know you mean [email protected]. • "Insert my United Airlines loyalty number" — Nova inserts it in one second. Stop switching to Google or Perplexity — hit a hotkey, ask by voice, get answers instantly. No, it's a neural network…from novavoice.app

    Luke from ElevenLabs here. We just released Scribe Realtime v2, our new real-time Speech to Text model. We rebuilt it from the ground up around a new architecture that uses predictive transcription – it anticipates the next likely word before it’s spoken. That makes it both fast (around 150 ms latency) and highly accurate. Scribe v2 Realtime outperforms every low latency transcription model across 30 commonly used EU and Asian languages – 93.5% accuracy, compared to Gemini 2.5 Flash (91.4%), GPT-4o MiniTranscribe (90.7%), and Deepgram Nova 3 (85%). It supports 90+ languages including…

    Hey HN, I’m Atmiya. I built Invoce.ai because invoicing always felt unnecessarily slow and bloated. Most tools make you click through forms and settings just to send an invoice. With Invoce, you simply chat with AI, describe the work you did, and it creates a clean invoice instantly. It’s early and intentionally simple. I’m curious how others here handle invoicing today and what feels most frustrating. Happy to answer questions and hear feedback.

    Hey everyone, I'm excited to share Heynds, a new desktop app for macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon!) that combines voice dictation with a powerful AI writing assistant to significantly boost your productivity. First and foremost, I know that many solutions like this already exist, but I needed my own, something faster than all the others, that both integrates speech-to-text and a writing assistant in an all-in-one app. The core idea is to let you work much faster by: * Voice-to-Text: Speak naturally, and Heynds transcribes your words into perfectly formatted text in real-time. Think of it…
