Dictation for Cursor
Cursor workflows often stall on one bottleneck: writing long, precise context for the assistant. Almond removes that typing overhead so you can speak architecture, repro steps, and constraints in one pass.
Where dictation helps most in Cursor
- Drafting multi-file refactor prompts with explicit acceptance criteria.
- Narrating stack traces and reproduction details during bug triage.
- Capturing code review summaries and follow-up action items quickly.
Workflow setup
Keep Cursor focused, trigger Almond with your shortcut, and dictate directly into the chat or editor input.
Use short spoken structure markers such as “Context”, “Goal”, and “Constraints” to produce cleaner assistant responses.
Why this feels faster
Almond uses deterministic on-device dictation, so text appears without waiting on a cloud dictation round trip after speech ends.
Benchmark qualifier
Based on Almond internal testing (February 15, 2026): same 20-second spoken phrase, measured from end of dictation to visible final text result versus Wispr Flow and other cloud-first dictation models.
- Test date: 2026-02-15
- Input: Same 20-second spoken phrase
- Metric: Elapsed time from end of dictation to visible final result
