Voice Typing Built for Visual Studio Code & Terminal
Writing code is fast; writing documentation, PR descriptions, and commit messages slows you down. Dictate them at 150+ WPM directly inside your code editor without breaking flow.
Most dictation apps fail in IDEs because they pop up focus-stealing dialogs or choke on loud mechanical keyboards. Valcy was built specifically for developers:
- Zero Focus-Stealing: Cursor stays exactly on line 42 in your editor while you speak.
- 100% On-Device Privacy: Proprietary client code never leaves your Mac (Apple Silicon Metal GPU).
- Background Noise Filtering: Mechanical keyboard clicks and room fan hum are filtered out in real time.
- Custom Dev Vocabulary: Teach Valcy API endpoints, architecture jargon, and variable naming conventions.
Common Developer Workflows

GitHub Pull Requests
Dictate comprehensive PR walkthroughs, testing instructions, and deployment checklists without fatigue.
Frequently Asked Questions for Engineers
Will Valcy interfere with my VS Code keybindings?
No. You can set Valcy's global hotkey to any combination you like (such as Option+Space, Control+Space, or custom modifiers) so it never conflicts with Vim mode or VS Code defaults.
Does it work in Terminal, iTerm2, and Warp?
Yes. Valcy uses native macOS CoreGraphics keystroke injection and clipboard insertion, allowing it to write into any terminal shell, zsh prompt, or IDE.
