Voice mode is not working properly. When using voice mode, the audio waves are visible and appear to be moving (indicating the microphone is picking up audio), but when pressing the Stop button, no text is outputted/transcribed into the chat. The voice input is completely lost and nothing appears in the editor or chat.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor IDE
Open a chat panel
Click the Voice Mode microphone button to start voice input
Speak into the microphone (audio waves are visible and moving)
Press the Stop button to end voice input
Observe: no text is transcribed or outputted into the chat/editor
Expected Behavior
After pressing Stop, the spoken audio should be transcribed and the resulting text should appear in the chat input or be sent as a message, allowing voice-to-text input to work seamlessly.
Hey, thanks for the report. I checked your account and you’re currently on the Free plan, and voice mode with transcription is only available on Pro and above. The backend rejects the request, but the UI shows a generic error instead of a clear upgrade hint, so it feels like a bug. You see the waves, but no text. That’s on us, we’ll file a separate UX issue.
If you upgrade to Pro, transcription will work. As a workaround on Free, you can use macOS dictation to type into the chat, press Fn twice.
@deanrie this is my personal account, I had the issue in the work one where I am on the pro version! But I haven’t seen the issue happening, so we can close this bug report.
If the issue comes back on a Pro account, please open a new report and include the Request ID right top corner of the chat > Copy Request ID and your Cursor version, and we’ll take a look.
