On MacOS, dictation was solved a while back with Parakeet V3, and I haven't seen anything that has a better speed/accuracy tradeoff when talking to AIs, where slight inaccuracies are ok since they can "read between the lines".

I got annoyed by various UI and other things in tools like VoiceInk, Handy etc and Claude-Coded my own CLI dictation tool called VoxType that uses parakeet-mlx:

Install this skill for your coding agent and let it help you set it up, there are many config options:

    npx skills add pchalasani/claude-code-tools -s voxtype-install -g
Or if you must do it yourself,

    uv tool install voxtype
This is just an example of where we are today with software today: people building their own tools, and not bothering to market it (or perhaps I'm contracting myself here ;).
