Use case
Voice to text for coding on Mac
Dictate commit messages, PR descriptions, comments, and docs straight into VS Code, the terminal, or Slack. Sayframe writes the prose around your code and leaves the code itself to you.
The developer dictation workflow
- 1Put the cursor in a commit message, PR description, code comment, or terminal prompt where prose belongs around your code.
- 2Press your Sayframe shortcut and describe the change in plain language: what changed, why, and anything a reviewer needs to know.
- 3Review the transcript in the Sayframe panel or Library, then insert at cursor when macOS permits it.
- 4For comments and docstrings, switch to a custom mode (free) that keeps your formatting conventions, so text lands already shaped.
- 5Sayframe writes the words. You still write, review, and commit the code. It handles dictation, not code generation.
It writes prose, not code
Sayframe turns speech into commit messages, comments, docs, and updates. It does not generate functions, autocomplete code, or replace an AI coding assistant. Dictate a comment describing what a block does, and Sayframe writes exactly what you said; it won’t infer or invent the code itself. Custom modes (free) can format that text consistently for comment styles, docstring conventions, or commit messages, but the words stay yours.
