VoiceAppear - Dictation for Claude Code
VoiceAppear types spoken prompts directly into Claude Code and any other text field on Windows or Mac. Hold CTRL to dictate, release, and your words appear in the terminal or desktop app within 500 milliseconds. CTRL+Space enables hands-free mode where you press CTRL again to submit.
Typing long prompts into a CLI breaks flow fast. VoiceAppear formats file names, variables, and technical terms to match what Claude Code expects, supports switching between 100+ languages mid-dictation, and processes voice locally without storing transcripts or audio. You can start dictating from outside Claude Code and attach text or screenshots as you speak.
The app installs via Windows or Mac download, a single terminal curl command, or an install prompt pasted into Claude Code itself. It works in CMD, PowerShell, VS Code terminal, and the Claude Code desktop app. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
