Think through a difficult prompt
Explain the context, constraints, and edge cases out loud. Choose a transformation to remove the verbal scaffolding, then inspect the prompt before sending.
Voice dictation for developers
Talk through the problem. Paste the useful version.
Hold one hotkey in your editor, terminal, browser, or AI app. Speak the rough thought; Koe turns it into text you can use.

You say
“okay refactor the audio session but don't change the public events and make sure reconnect can't leak the old socket”
Koe writes
Refactor the audio session without changing its public events. Ensure reconnect closes the previous socket and cannot retain stale listeners.
Example output. You choose raw dictation or a transformation.

One shortcut, fewer context switches
Use your voice for the work that starts as a thought.
Koe works through the active text field. There is no editor plugin to learn and no transcript window to shuttle text out of.
Capture the debugging trail
Dictate what failed, what you tried, and what changed while the details are fresh. Keep it raw or turn it into a structured handoff.
Write the work around the code
Draft PR descriptions, issue updates, release notes, comments, and documentation without leaving the app where the work is happening.
Your vocabulary, not generic vocabulary
Keep names, acronyms, and project terms intact.
Add the words your work depends on to the custom dictionary: package names, internal tools, APIs, people, and domain language.
- Choose the transcription model and language for the task.
- Use raw dictation when exact wording matters.
- Apply cleanup and formatting when the result should be ready to paste.
When paste is only step one
Send the result to a command or webhook.
Voice Actions can run a local shell command or call an HTTP webhook after transcription. Keep the default paste workflow, or connect speech to a tool you already control.
Local commandHand text to a script on your Mac.
HTTP webhookSend the result to an endpoint you configure.
Visible choiceYou decide which action runs and when.
Choose the processing path
Local when you need it. Cloud when you choose it.
Audio stays on your Mac. Works offline after the model download.
Audio goes directly from the app to the supported provider you configure. Koe is not in the request path.
Koe routes audio to the selected provider and manages transformations. No provider key setup is required.
