Dictate Into VS Code — Comments, Docs, Commit Messages
Use SuperSpeech to dictate comments, JSDoc, markdown docs, commit messages, and PR descriptions inside VS Code. Custom dictionary for every technical term.
VS Code is where developers spend most of their day, but a lot of that time is writing prose: code comments, JSDoc, markdown READMEs, commit messages, PR descriptions. SuperSpeech dictates into VS Code at speaking speed, with a custom dictionary for every CLI tool, framework, and acronym that stock dictation gets wrong.
Where to use dictation in VS Code
SuperSpeech works in any VS Code text area:
- Markdown files (READMEs, docs, ADRs)
- Code comments and JSDoc blocks
- Integrated terminal (for dictated commands)
- Git commit message input
- PR description panels in GitHub Pull Requests extension
- Jupyter notebook markdown cells
- Chat and Copilot prompt fields
Custom dictionary for coding
Code vocabulary kills generic dictation. SuperSpeech lets you map:
- "n acht n" → "N8N"
- "a p i" → "API"
- "kube control" → "kubectl"
- "react j s" → "React.js"
- "o auth" → "OAuth"
- "postgres" → "PostgreSQL"
- "j w t" → "JWT"
Workflows developers love
Common use cases in VS Code:
- Long PR descriptions: dictate the "why" in paragraphs rather than bullets
- Design docs in markdown: first draft at speaking speed
- JSDoc: dictate descriptions for every exported function
- README updates after refactors
- Meeting notes in a scratchpad.md file
Privacy for proprietary code
Company code is sensitive. Cloud dictation that uploads audio can accidentally send proprietary variable names and business logic descriptions. SuperSpeech runs locally — no upload, no corporate policy violation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with Copilot Chat?
Yes. Dictate your Copilot prompt in the chat field. SuperSpeech handles the speech-to-text; Copilot handles the code generation.
Can I dictate commit messages?
Yes. Open the Git commit message field in VS Code, press your SuperSpeech hotkey, and dictate. Proper capitalization and punctuation come automatically.
Does it work in the terminal?
Yes. Dictate commands and multi-line text into the integrated terminal. Be careful with dangerous commands — dictation is convenient but verify before hitting enter.
Does it support all VS Code language modes?
Yes. It dictates plain text; the language mode does not affect SuperSpeech. Useful for Markdown, plain text files, and comments in any language.
Cursor or JetBrains IDEs?
Yes. SuperSpeech works system-wide, so Cursor, Zed, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim GUIs, Sublime, and any editor with a text input all work.
