AICHE +Vscode Integration

Voice for code comments and docs

Write documentation and comments faster with voice.

The short answer: open VS Code, position your cursor in a comment block or README file, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak your documentation or explanation for 30-45 seconds, and AICHE transcribes and inserts the formatted text.

Typing thorough documentation and comments takes 12-15 minutes per function, and context-switching between thinking about logic and typing prose slows both processes.

  1. Open VS Code with your project.
  2. Position cursor where you want text (comment block, markdown file, or commit message field).
  3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
  4. Speak your explanation naturally (example: "this function validates user input by checking email format, verifying domain existence, and rejecting disposable addresses").
  5. Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
  6. Edit for technical accuracy if needed, then continue coding.

Heads-up: AICHE transcribes your spoken words literally. If you say "create a function that adds two numbers," it inserts that sentence-it won't generate function syntax. Use AICHE for explaining code to humans, not writing code itself.

The pro-tip: when documenting complex functions, speak while looking at the code on screen. This produces more accurate descriptions than trying to remember implementation details from memory.

Result: a comprehensive README that takes 18 minutes to type becomes 5 minutes of dictation, and function docstrings get written immediately instead of being postponed.

Do this now: open any code file with an undocumented function, add a comment block above it, press your hotkey, and dictate what the function does and why it exists.
