Voice input for Cursor?

15
•

Has anyone been successfully talking to Cursor? I started using Superwhisper but having to copy-paste the generated transcription into Cursor is a chore. Looking for something that just works.

@chrismessina Awesome, thanks! Will do.

@chrismessina curious if you'd say it performs better than @MacWhisper? Been looking at trying one but I'd be using it mostly for in-apps or recording notes/meetings.

@gabe TalkTastic does two things better than MacWhisper:

  1. It improves your dictation to handle grammar and other disfluencies.

  2. It rewrites the dictation transcript to be more suitable for the current visible app — i.e. it takes a screenshot and uses that as context for its LLM rewrite.

I'd experiment with both and see which works better for you!

It's Awesome, Thanks for mentioning it @chrismessina

@chrismessina oh, point 2 is really cool! Gonna try them out. Thanks Chris!

I use @MacWhisper in Cursor. You can activate it in any text field when holding down the fn key. It replaces the system dictation. Works great!

@vercantez you can't mention files using voice, right?

Miguel Salinas

@steveb You can't @ files but that's not much of a problem for me since I mostly use Composer agent mode which will search for the file and add it to the context automatically if you mention it like "look at views.py to see how we do this first"

@vercantez Thanks Miguel! Will check this out.

I use the native voice commands on Mac. Hitting CTRL-CTRL activates and deactivates it. The biggest pain is that for technical terms it does a poor job of getting them right. i.e. SQL != "sequel" and so on. You do have to go back and edit a bit, but it is still a huge time saver.


AND I get to feel like I am living in the future.

@ammonbrown Thanks! Also for the video :)

You can use MacWhisper , the free version has dictation as well (I make it)

Would love to know if anyone has a seamless solution voice input would be a huge boost.

@agordhandas superwhisper is good , app on iOS and Mac , and if you enable it in Settings and then it type in any text Field option-plus space key. And I wrote this comment, the last part of it actually using superwhisper. The first part I tried to type myself.
