Voice typing built for the command line

Picture a dark terminal: the prompt is waiting, the cluster is on fire, and your wrists are already done for the day. You double-tap ⌘, say kubectl get pods -n production, and the line appears at the insert point—no context switch, no hunting keys for every slash.

Where it shines

• Terminal, iTerm2, Warp, and the VS Code / Cursor / Xcode integrated terminal—the places generic dictation tools forget to document.
• Real commands: git messages, docker runs, kubectl one-liners, and paths with slashes and flags.
• Code comments and PR text: speak a paragraph of review notes or a TODO block, then clean it up in-editor.
• Honest fallbacks when macOS secure input blocks injection—clipboard path with clear messaging (see Terminal dictation).

Workflows to try this week

1. Draft a bug report from spoken context (bug report scenario).
2. Dictate a PR review comment thread (PR review scenario).
3. Drop architecture notes in Notion or the wiki without leaving the flow (coding notes).
