AICHE +Jetbrains Idea Integration

Voice input for IntelliJ, PyCharm, and WebStorm

Speak your code documentation directly into IntelliJ.

The short answer: open any JetBrains IDE, position your cursor in a comment block or markdown file, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak for 30-50 seconds, and AICHE inserts the transcribed documentation where your cursor sits.

Typing comprehensive JavaDoc, docstrings, or README files takes 15-20 minutes per component, creating documentation debt that accumulates across sprints.

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, or any JetBrains IDE.
  2. Position cursor in a comment block, doc comment, or markdown file.
  3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
  4. Speak your explanation naturally, describing what the code does and why.
  5. Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes and inserts the formatted text.
  6. Add code-specific formatting (like @param tags) manually if needed.

Heads-up: AICHE transcribes prose, not code syntax. Use it for explaining logic to humans in comments and docs, not for dictating function implementations.

The pro-tip: when writing class documentation, dictate while reviewing the public methods on screen. This produces accurate API documentation that reflects actual behavior.

Result: documenting a 200-line class that takes 25 minutes of typing becomes 6 minutes of dictation, and you ship code with complete explanations.

Do this now: open any undocumented class, add a doc comment above it, press your hotkey, and dictate what the class does and how to use it.
