AICHE +NNotepad Plus Plus Integration
Voice for advanced text editing
Speak code documentation and config files faster.
The short answer: open Notepad++, position cursor in your file, press Ctrl+Alt+R, speak for 30-90 seconds, and AICHE inserts text with syntax highlighting intact.
Typing comprehensive code comments, configuration files, or documentation in Notepad++ takes time away from actual development when managing multiple text files across projects.
- Open Notepad++ on your Windows system.
- Create new file or open existing code/config file.
- Position cursor where you want text inserted.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your content naturally (example for code comment: "function calculates compound interest using formula A equals P times quantity one plus r divided by n close quantity raised to power n times t where A is final amount P is principal r is annual interest rate as decimal n is compounding frequency per year and t is time in years, handles edge cases including zero principal returning zero immediately, negative interest rate throwing argument exception, and compounding frequency less than 1 defaulting to annual compounding, returns precise decimal result with two decimal places for currency display, example usage principal 1000 rate 0.05 compounded quarterly for 5 years returns 1283.36").
- Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes and inserts the text.
- Use Notepad++'s syntax highlighting and multi-edit features.
Heads-up: Notepad++ supports 80+ programming languages with syntax highlighting. AICHE inserts plain text, but Notepad++ automatically highlights based on file extension, making commented code immediately readable.
The pro-tip: use Notepad++ with AICHE for batch editing configuration files across multiple tabs. Dictate common configuration blocks once, then use Notepad++'s multi-tab editing and find-replace-in-files to apply variations across your project.
Result: documenting 20 functions with detailed comments that takes 35 minutes of typing becomes 10 minutes of dictation, and Notepad++'s speed handles large files without lag.
Do this now: open Notepad++ with a code file, position cursor above an undocumented function, press your hotkey, and dictate complete explanation including parameters, return value, edge cases, and usage example.
