// IN SHORT

Dikton is voice dictation for developers on macOS (Windows soon). Hit the Option+D shortcut, speak, and the text pastes at the cursor — in Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, the terminal, Slack, Linear, or any input field. You create per-use profiles with a custom prompt (translate, tighten, drop fillers) that fires automatically on the apps you target. The personal dictionary keeps the names outside common vocabulary: your libs, modules, internal services.

The 2026 dev job: briefing agents

Code generates itself. The work is briefing it well. A structured prompt for Claude or Cursor runs 200 to 500 words: context, constraints, examples, expected output. Type that at 62 wpm and you spend 5 to 10 minutes per prompt. Multiply by 30 to 50 prompts a day.

How Dikton changes that

Hit Option+D, speak, the text pastes at the cursor — in Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or any app you click into. You dictate in continuous flow at 248 wpm instead of 62 typing. The personal dictionary keeps names that standard dictation doesn't know — your libs, modules, services.

Custom profiles

Create a profile per use with a prompt that fits you: "translate to English", "strip filler words", "format as bullets", "short imperative for a commit". Target the apps that should trigger that profile. When you dictate, Dikton detects the active app, applies the right prompt, pastes the result at the cursor.

Tools that work

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, JetBrains, Xcode, Zed. Terminal: iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp, Terminal.app. Web: claude.ai, chat.openai.com, perplexity.ai, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Slack, Discord. Dikton types wherever your cursor blinks — no specific integration needed.

// QUESTIONS

Before you ask.

Does it work for briefing Claude Code, Cursor, Codex?

Yes. Hit Option+D in any of those apps, dictate, and the text pastes at the cursor. If you want the dictation reshaped before paste (bullets, translation, tightened), you code the prompt into a dedicated profile.

How does Dikton learn my vocabulary?

You add terms manually to the personal dictionary: lib, module, service names, abbreviations. Dikton then picks them up reliably, no spelling needed.

How much time do I save on a typical prompt?

A 300-word prompt takes about 5 minutes typing at 62 wpm, about 90 seconds dictating with Dikton at 248 wpm. Over 30 prompts a day, that's two hours back.

How do I set up a profile per app?

Create a profile, write your prompt ("reformat as bullets", "translate to English", "conversational tone", etc.), tick the apps that should trigger it. When you dictate in a targeted app, the profile applies automatically before paste.

Does it work in the terminal?

Yes. Dikton types in iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp, Terminal.app like any other app. You can dedicate a profile to terminal apps to fit punctuation to shell commands.
