Dictation for VS Code
VS Code is a writing-heavy environment: tickets, PR context, prompts, and comments. Almond accelerates that narrative layer without changing your coding setup.
Best VS Code dictation use cases
- Documenting bug reproduction and expected behavior.
- Writing inline comments for complex logic sections.
- Drafting AI coding assistant prompts in extensions.
Low-friction setup
Trigger Almond from anywhere in VS Code, speak naturally, and edit only where precision is needed.
Keep one consistent prompt structure for faster assistant iteration.
Latency impact
Fast local dictation reduces the delay between finishing a thought and seeing final text in your editor.
