Thank you! We love hearing stories like this.

We want to get Aqua into as many places as possible — and will go full tilt into that as soon as the core is extremely extremely solid (this is our focus right now).

Great lessons from Dragon Dictation. Would love to learn more about the speech recognition user group meetings! Are those still running? Are you a part of any?

Unfortunately no. I think they faded out almost 20 years ago. The main problem was that without having someone able to create solutions, the speech recognition user group devolved into a bunch of crips complaining about how fewer and fewer applications work with speech recognition. We knew what was wrong; we knew how to iterate to where NaturallySpeaking should be, but nobody was there to do it.

FWIW, I am fleeing Fusebase, formally known as Nimbus, because they "pivoted" and messed up my notetaking environment. In the beginning, I went with Nimbus because it was the only notetaking environment that worked with Dragon. After the pivot, not so much. I'm giving Joplin a try. Aqua might work well as an extension to Joplin, especially if there was a WYSIMWYG (what you see is mostly what you get) front-end like Rich Markdown. I'd also look at heynote.
