OpenAI Codex CLI brings GPT-4's coding capabilities to your terminal. But typing detailed prompts slows you down. With WhisperTyping, you speak to Codex naturally - 4x faster than typing, with features built specifically for vibe coding.
What is Codex CLI?
Codex CLI is OpenAI's command-line coding agent. It understands your codebase, executes commands, writes code, and helps you build software through natural language conversation. Like Claude Code, it runs in your terminal and can make changes directly to your files.
Always Ready When You Are
Here's what makes WhisperTyping essential: your hotkey is always available, no matter what you're doing. Reviewing code, testing your app, reading docs—hit your hotkey and start speaking. Your next prompt is ready before you switch windows.
See a bug while testing? Hit the hotkey: "The API returns 500 when the request body is empty." By the time you're back in your terminal, your thought is captured and ready to paste into Codex.
Double-Tap to Send
The feature developers love most: double-tap your hotkey to automatically press Enter. Dictate your prompt and send it to Codex in one motion - completely hands-free.
Single tap starts recording. Double-tap stops, transcribes, and sends. No reaching for the keyboard. No breaking your flow.
Custom Vocabulary
Speech recognition can struggle with technical terms. WhisperTyping lets you add your stack to its vocabulary:
- Framework names:
React,FastAPI,NextJS - Functions and hooks:
useState,useEffect,handleSubmit - Your project's class names, variables, and conventions
When you say "refactor the useAuth hook", it knows exactly what you mean.
Screen-Aware Transcription
WhisperTyping reads your screen using OCR. When you're looking at code, it sees the same function names, error messages, and variables you do - and uses them to transcribe accurately.
Say "fix the calculateTotal function" while looking at your code, and it spells it correctly because it can see it on your screen.
Why Voice for Codex CLI?
Codex CLI excels with detailed, contextual prompts. Voice makes it effortless to provide that context:
- Explain bugs conversationally: "The API is returning 500 errors when the payload is empty"
- Describe features naturally: "Add input validation to the signup form with proper error messages"
- Give implementation guidance: "Use async/await and add retry logic for network failures"
