Voice Input Built for Developers
Draft comments, docs, issue notes, and messages by voice in VS Code, a terminal, Slack, or another focused desktop field. Review code symbols, commands, names, and formatting before use.

How Developers Use It
Real workflows, not hypotheticals
Draft comments and docs
Dictate code comments, README sections, issue notes, and documentation, then check technical names and formatting before using the text.
Pair Programming by Voice
Describe your logic out loud while coding. OpenTypeless transcribes and polishes your thoughts into clean text.
Reduce RSI & Strain
Give your hands a break. Alternate between typing and dictation to prevent repetitive strain injuries.
Terminal Commands
Use custom dictionary to map voice shortcuts to complex terminal commands and code snippets.
How It Works
4 steps for a voice-assisted coding draft
Press Hotkey
Hit your dictation hotkey: Fn on macOS, Right Alt on Windows, or Ctrl+/ on Linux.
Speak Naturally
Dictate your comment, doc string, or message. No special syntax needed.
AI Polishes
Your chosen LLM removes fillers, fixes grammar, and formats the output.
Text Appears
The polished text is typed directly into your editor, terminal, or chat.
Developer-Friendly Features
Editor field workflow
Test the global hotkey, cursor position, indentation, punctuation, snippets, and undo behavior in VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, or your editor.
Custom dictionary for code-specific terms
Add class names, API endpoints, and technical terms, then test them with representative speakers and project vocabulary.
7 named BYOK STT providers for route-specific accuracy/speed tradeoffs
Run the same code-heavy audio fixture through the STT routes you are considering, including any Custom Whisper endpoint. Compare word errors, symbol handling, endpoint latency, and logs; evaluate Ollama separately only if you want local LLM polishing.
11 LLM providers for text polishing
Choose from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or local Ollama. Each provider handles code comments and docs differently — pick what works for you.
