Anyone else coding by voice?

I have been developing numerous projects in Python using Cursor AI. However, due to a condition affecting my hands, I seldom use the keyboard and instead rely on Windows Voice Access to transcribe everything.

I commenced this approach approximately five months ago, and it has been life changing in terms of how rapidly I have been able to create projects and solve problems. Does anyone else utilize voice-to-text technology for coding and Cursor AI?

Actually, this message is entirely written by dictation. I’m using Superwhisper and have various prompts depending on the workflow, which will then translate what I’m saying into a series of product manager-type instructions written by a developer.

Interesting. I’ve thought about exploring voice but I’m so used to typing that, in fact, I often start typing when the thoughts are still forming. The act of typing helps me flesh them out.

Because of this, I haven’t really tried voice other than dictation that comes with my operating system.

When you say you have voice prompts that take your spoken words and ‘translates’ them, this seems a step up from dictation. Would you mind sharing examples of the sorts of prompts you have used?

Thanks in advance.

But superwhisper is still iOS only rigth? I am on waiting list for windows beta :).

Anyone knows any good alternatives for windows to bridge the time :)?

Windows voice access is built in to Windows 11. I use it all day every day. The transcription isn’t always accurate, but AI like Claude 3.5 easily figures out your intent, even with atrocious word transcription errors.
