1. Describe the problem:
I'm a developer and I actively use text-to-speech to communicate with AI coding agents (Cursor, Windsurf, and similar). It speeds up my work tremendously, but there's one issue that kills the flow:
I think faster than I speak, and I often change my mind mid-sentence.
Typical scenario:
I think faster than I speak, and I often change my mind mid-sentence.
Typical scenario:
"Make the background green… or actually, more like greenish-blue… maybe just blue? Actually no, let’s go with green, but light green."
The result is a muddled mess of contradictory instructions sent to my coding agent. It either does the wrong thing or gets confused. I end up either manually editing the prompt before sending it (killing the whole point of voice input) or sending it as-is and dealing with the consequences.
2. How often does the problem occur?
Every single time I use voice input for coding — which is multiple times a day. This isn't a random glitch; it's a systematic breakdown in my workflow.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
- Tried speaking slower and thinking through phrases in advance — breaks my flow and kills the spontaneity that makes voice input valuable.
- Tried dictating into notes first, then editing — defeats the purpose; I lose the time advantage.
- Currently, I just type out complex prompts manually. It's reliable, but significantly slower than if I could simply talk through my thoughts, refine them in conversation, and send a clean result.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I'm willing to pay €10 per month for a tool that acts as a "smart intermediary" between me and my coding agent:
Such a tool would give me back the speed and spontaneity of voice control — without the chaos.
- Understands the context of my project
- Allows for a back-and-forth conversation to refine my thoughts ("no, not like that, more like this")
- Once I confirm the prompt is ready, it sends a clean, structured prompt to my coding agent
- Operates separately from the main coding agent, so my messy thinking doesn't clutter its context window
Such a tool would give me back the speed and spontaneity of voice control — without the chaos.
