As part to use move AI tooling while writing and editing code, I am looking to use voice to text, i use to use it to write my papers in college using Dragon NaturallySpeaking but it was a pain to set up and use.
While I don't like the idea of only Vibe coding, i do like Voice as a faster medium to get my thoughts out and refine them afterwards.
I am looking to use this in conjunction with the AI tools I have been using to help me write and edit code.
Keyboard Shortcuts:
I'm on Linux while writing this, so the shortcuts may be different on Mac or Windows. and yo7u
There Two input modes.
- Copilot Command cntl+i opens the Copilot command palette, then again to start recording. Hitting cntl+i again stops the recording.
- Dictation cntl+alt+V opens the mic This is a long term dictation recording. Hit escape to stop. So this is where I'm not giving copying commands, but just recording what I say the text on the page.
Hitting central, alt and V opens up a long term dictation recording. So this is where I'm not giving copying commands, but just recording what I say the text on the page. This is a great way to get my thoughts out and then refine them afterwards. I can also use this to write blog posts, which is what I'm doing now. I can also use this to write code, but I find it easier to just use the copilot command!!!!
