How to Dictate in VS Code with FluidVox

Q: Does it work in VS Code's editor?

Yes. FluidVox types into any text input in VS Code, including the code editor, terminal, comments, and search fields.

Q: Will it mess up my code?

FluidVox types text at your cursor position. It's ideal for comments, strings, documentation, and commit messages — not for writing actual code syntax.

Q: Can I use it in the integrated terminal?

Yes. FluidVox works in VS Code's integrated terminal for typing commands and descriptions.

Q: Does it understand programming terms?

Yes. FluidVox preserves technical vocabulary and you can add custom dictionary terms for project-specific APIs and libraries.

Write code comments, documentation strings, and commit messages by voice — with technical formatting applied automatically.
