Speech to text for developers

Voice coding means describing code changes, prompts and docs out loud instead of typing them. Voicy turns speech into punctuated text in VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, terminals, GitHub, Linear and Slack.

Save hours every week while staying focused. Try it free and see how voice dictation improves your developer workflow.

Why developers switch from built-in dictation tools

Most built-in dictation tools break when you move between IDEs, docs, and terminals. Developers need one workflow that works in VS Code, Cursor, terminal apps, Slack, and browser tools without extra setup.

Voicy gives you one desktop dictation layer across your stack. Dictate code comments, PR notes, tickets, docs, and prompts with high accuracy and minimal cleanup.
