Dictate code or instructions directly into the Pi coding agent.

Done with

pi-transcribe

How

A terminal shortcut captures microphone audio, runs a downloaded speech model through transcribe.cpp, and inserts the transcription at the cursor. Configuration covers models, language, microphone, shortcuts, and Chinese script variants.

Result

Spoken input appears as text at the coding-agent cursor, with audio remaining on the machine after model download.

Replaces

Typing the dictated text.
