Vocaly - Push-to-Talk Voice Typing - 100% Privat
Vocaly is a push-to-talk, 100% private voice typing solution that works in any application.
For vibe coders, this means you don’t have to type out every prompt or instruction. Instead, you can just talk to your AI agent (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, etc.) the way you would to a human teammate. This saves effort, prevents the energy drain of constant typing, and helps you stay productive during long coding sessions - so you can do more in less time.
Why it helps
- Push-to-Talk workflow: Press and hold a hotkey, speak, release - text instantly appears in the active app (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, etc.).
- 100% local & private: Both your speech and the corresponding transcript stay on your machine. Nothing is uploaded or sent anywhere.
- Audio ducking: You can vibe code while listening to your favorite music and still use Vocaly for voice typing without distraction. If you’re playing music from YouTube, Spotify, or any other source, pressing the push-to-talk hotkey automatically lowers the music so your voice is captured clearly. When you release the hotkey, the music returns to its normal volume. This way, you get the best of both worlds - uninterrupted music and seamless voice typing.
- Works anywhere you can type: From IDEs and CLI-terminals to editors, browsers, etc.
- Custom vocabulary: Provide your own technical jargon, proper nouns, or names so recognition adapts to your workflow.
- Customizable voice commands for punctuation and formatting: Personalize the exact phrases you use for punctuation and formatting. For example: "add full stop", " add comma", "go to new line", "got to new paragraph", etc.
