Cursor is the AI-first code editor that's changing how developers write software. Its inline AI chat and code generation are powerful - but typing prompts all day slows you down. With WhisperTyping, you speak to Cursor's AI naturally, 4x faster than typing. This is vibe coding at its best.
What is Cursor?
Cursor is a VS Code fork built around AI. It features inline chat (Cmd+K), an AI sidebar, and intelligent code completion. You describe what you want, and Cursor writes or modifies the code. It's become one of the most popular AI coding tools for good reason.
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, browsing documentation—hit your hotkey and start speaking. Your next prompt is ready before you even open Cursor's chat.
Notice something while testing? Hit the hotkey: "The form validation isn't checking for empty strings." By the time you're back in Cursor, your thought is captured and ready to paste.
Voice for Inline Chat
Cursor's inline chat (Cmd+K) is where you'll spend most of your time. Instead of typing your instructions, speak them:
- "Refactor this function to use async await"
- "Add error handling for the API call"
- "Write a unit test for this component"
- "Explain what this regex does"
WhisperTyping types your spoken prompt directly into the Cursor chat box.
Double-Tap to Send
The feature developers love most: double-tap your hotkey to automatically press Enter. Dictate your prompt and send it to Cursor in one motion - completely hands-free.
Single tap starts recording. Double-tap stops, transcribes, and sends. Perfect for rapid iteration with Cursor's AI.
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
Screen-Aware Transcription
WhisperTyping reads your screen using OCR. When you're looking at code in Cursor, it sees the same function names, error messages, and variables you do - and uses them to transcribe accurately.
Why Voice for Cursor?
Cursor is designed for conversational coding. Voice makes that conversation natural:
- Describe changes while looking at the code: "Change this to use the new API format"
- Iterate quickly: speak refinements without breaking focus
- Reduce RSI: give your hands a break during long coding sessions
