Write comments and Copilot prompts with your voice
Writing thorough docstrings, inline comments, and commit messages takes valuable time. Speak your thoughts naturally, and Valcy inserts clean, formatted text right into VS Code.
Why manual typing in VS Code slows you down
Developers often skip writing comprehensive comments, JSDoc blocks, or detailed PR descriptions because switching from writing logic to typing long paragraphs breaks mental momentum.
Speak naturally at your normal conversational pace
Speaking allows you to explain the rationale behind a function in seconds. Valcy turns your spoken words into structured prose, removes filler words, and pastes the text directly at your cursor position.
Compare spoken input to final text in VS Code
Valcy automatically filters out verbal hesitations, corrects punctuation, and formats sentences clearly.

Common Questions About Using Valcy with VS Code
Do I need to install a VS Code extension?
No. Valcy works across macOS universally. It injects text into VS Code as native keyboard input, so no workspace setup is required.
Can I dictate into the VS Code integrated terminal?
Yes. You can dictate commit messages, CLI commands, and arguments directly into Zsh, Bash, Fish, or any active terminal session.
Does Valcy modify existing code?
No. Valcy only inserts text at your active cursor position or replaces your highlighted text, exactly like manual typing or pasting.
Is my source code kept private?
Yes. In Local Mode, transcription runs 100% offline on your Mac's Apple Silicon GPU. No code snippets or audio recordings are transmitted online.
