Windows Terminal Integration

The short answer: open Windows Terminal, start your command (git commit, echo, etc.), press Ctrl+Alt+R, speak for 30-90 seconds, and AICHE inserts formatted text for your PowerShell, CMD, or WSL session.

Typing comprehensive commit messages and PowerShell documentation interrupts development flow when working across multiple terminal profiles in Windows Terminal.

1. Open Windows Terminal with your preferred shell (PowerShell, CMD, WSL).
2. Begin your command (git commit -m "", echo for docs, etc.).
3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
4. Speak your complete message or documentation (example: "automated backup script for SQL Server databases running on production server, creates full database backup using backup database T-SQL command with compression enabled, backup file named with timestamp format DatabaseName underscore YYYY-MM-DD underscore HH-MM-SS dot bak for easy sorting, saves to network share backslash backslash backup server backslash sql backups with 30 day retention policy enforced by separate cleanup script, verifies backup integrity using restore verifyonly command after creation ensuring backup is usable for disaster recovery, logs all operations to application event log with custom source SQL Backup Script including success failures and duration, sends email notification to DBA team on failure using Send-MailMessage cmdlet with error details and backup path, requires SQL Server authentication using service account with backup operator permissions, schedule to run daily at 2am via Windows Task Scheduler during maintenance window, includes error handling for locked databases network unavailable and insufficient disk space scenarios with appropriate retry logic and alerting").
5. Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes and inserts the text.
6. Complete the command and execute.

Heads-up: Windows Terminal supports multiple profiles (PowerShell, CMD, WSL, Azure Cloud Shell). AICHE works identically across all profiles without reconfiguration, maintaining consistent voice workflow.

The pro-tip: use Windows Terminal's split panes with AICHE for parallel development. Dictate detailed commit messages in a Git pane while monitoring build output in PowerShell pane, keeping documentation rich without context switching.

Result: typing detailed commit messages and PowerShell documentation that takes 18 minutes becomes 5 minutes of dictation, and Windows Terminal's modern performance handles voice input without lag.

Do this now: open Windows Terminal, navigate to a Git repository, start a commit command, press your hotkey, and dictate complete change explanation including technical details, dependencies affected, and deployment considerations.
