AICHE +Xcode Integration
Voice input for iOS development
Speak your code documentation directly into Xcode.
The short answer: open Xcode, position your cursor in a comment block or markdown documentation file, press ⌃+⌥+R, speak for 30-50 seconds, and AICHE inserts the transcribed documentation where your cursor sits.
Typing comprehensive Swift documentation with parameter explanations, usage examples, and edge cases takes 15-25 minutes per class, leaving codebases undocumented.
- Open Xcode with your Swift or Objective-C project.
- Position cursor in a documentation comment (/// or /**) or README file.
- Press ⌃+⌥+R to start recording.
- Speak your explanation, describing what the code does and how to use it.
- Press ⌃+⌥+R again-AICHE transcribes and inserts the formatted text.
- Add Swift-specific markup (like - Parameter:) manually if needed.
Heads-up: AICHE transcribes prose, not Swift syntax. Use it for documentation comments and README files, not for dictating actual code implementations.
The pro-tip: when documenting view controllers, dictate the user flow and state management while reviewing the IBOutlets and actions on screen. This produces documentation that matches actual UI behavior.
Result: documenting a 300-line view controller that takes 35 minutes of typing becomes 8 minutes of dictation, and your codebase ships with complete explanations.
Do this now: open any Swift file with an undocumented function, add a documentation comment above it, press ⌃+⌥+R, and dictate what it does and when to call it.
