alt Hacker NewsThanks for the advice! Could you please share how did you enable voice transcription for your setup and what it actually is?

I'm using Wispr flow, but I've also tried Superwhisper. Both are fine. I have a convenient hotkey to start/end recording with one hand. Having it just need one hand is nice. I'm using this with the Claude Code vscode extension in Cursor. If you go down this route, the Claude Code instance should be moved into a separate window outside your main editor or else it'll flicker a lot

For me, on Mac, VoiceInk has been top notch. Got tired of superwhispr

Spokenly on macOS with Soniox model.
I use https://github.com/braden-w/whispering with an OpenAI api key.
I use a keyboard shortcut to start and stop recording and it will put the transcription into the clipboard so I can paste into any app.
It's a huge productivity boost - OP is correct about not overthinking trying to be that coherent - the models are very good at knowing what you mean (Opus 4.5 with Claude Code in my case)
