VaniQ Gives Code-Aware Dictation a Key Hold
A macOS dictation tool that learns the names in your codebase and inserts spoken text with those names spelled correctly.
Field notes
The workflow uses a held key—Fn by default—to capture speech and place the resulting text at the active cursor when the key is released. The page says the app learns vocabulary from the project being edited, allowing examples such as authMiddleware and PostgresConnectionPool to survive dictation. Its reported tests include 50 real-app dictations, 21 of 22 code names corrected, 43 MB idle memory use, and a 186 ms typical insertion time on a base Apple M1.
