AICHE +Copilot Integration
Voice commands for Copilot
Speak your coding requirements to Copilot.
The short answer: open Copilot chat in your editor, click into the prompt field, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak for 30-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts the formatted prompt for Copilot to process.
Typing detailed prompts with full context, edge cases, and requirements takes 6-10 minutes per request, creating friction between problem identification and AI-assisted solutions.
- Open VS Code, Visual Studio, or GitHub Copilot chat.
- Click into the Copilot chat input field.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your complete requirement, including context and constraints.
- Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
- Press Enter to send the prompt to Copilot.
Heads-up: longer prompts produce better Copilot responses. Speak for 40-60 seconds to provide full context rather than abbreviated 10-second requests.
The pro-tip: include file context in your dictation by saying "in the authentication middleware" or "for the checkout component" so Copilot understands exactly where to apply changes.
Result: complex refactoring prompts that take 8 minutes to type now take 45 seconds to speak, and Copilot generates more accurate implementations from detailed context.
Do this now: open Copilot chat, press your hotkey, and dictate one complete coding task you've been avoiding because typing the full requirements felt tedious.
