Voice Prompts for AI Assistants
Walk, think, speak-let AI code
Your best thinking happens while moving. Dictate to AI assistants naturally.
The short answer: press your AICHE hotkey while in any AI chat, speak your complete thought for 30-60 seconds, and it appears as a formatted prompt ready to send.
Typing detailed prompts for 10-20 minutes each day adds up to wrist strain and mental friction when you need to pause thinking to type.
- Open your AI assistant chat window.
- Click in the message field where you normally type.
- Press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux) to start recording.
- Speak your full request naturally, including context and constraints.
- Press the hotkey again to stop-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
- Review the prompt and press Enter.
Heads-up: if you think in a non-English language, enable the Translate to English option in settings before recording. Your speech stays natural while the output converts automatically.
The pro-tip: longer prompts consistently produce better AI responses. Aim for 30-60 seconds of spoken context rather than rushing through in 10 seconds.
Result: a 5-minute typing session becomes 45 seconds of speaking, with zero wrist fatigue.
Do this now: open Claude or ChatGPT, press your hotkey, and dictate one real coding problem you're working on today.
