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.
- Open IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, or any JetBrains IDE.
- Position cursor in a comment block, doc comment, or markdown file.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your explanation naturally, describing what the code does and why.
- Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes and inserts the formatted text.
- 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.
