Dictation for Windsurf
Windsurf sessions move faster when prompt drafting keeps up with reasoning. Almond lets you narrate intent, constraints, and expected output format in one pass.
High-leverage Windsurf scenarios
- Complex feature requests with multiple edge cases.
- Incident response notes while reproducing production bugs.
- Large context handoffs between pair-programming sessions.
Prompt structure that works by voice
Speak in short blocks: current state, target behavior, constraints, and tests.
Finish with one explicit verification instruction so outputs remain deterministic.
Operational advantage
Local dictation removes post-speech cloud latency from the capture step, which preserves momentum while iterating prompts.
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
- Comparison group: Wispr Flow and other cloud-first dictation models
