We've all been there. You have a perfect idea for Cursor, but typing out every edge case and requirement is a drag. So you write a lazy, one-line prompt and get a lazy, one-line result.
The problem isn't the AI. The keyboard is the bottleneck.
You speak at ~150 WPM but type at ~40. By using your voice, you can stop writing tiny prompts and start dictating complete, high-context 'brain dumps'—just like you'd brief a junior dev.
Instead of slowly typing: "make a user profile component"
You could just say this in seconds:
Create a React component named UserProfileBadge that takes a userProfile object as a prop. This object includes a name, avatarUrl, and an array of permissions. If the permissions array includes 'admin', render a small, green 'Admin' badge next to the name. Also, handle the edge case where avatarUrl is null and render a default avatar with the user's initials.
The result? The AI gives you exactly what you wanted, on the first try.
I needed a simple tool for this exact workflow—a global hotkey that lets me dictate into any window (my IDE, a commit message, a Jira ticket), completely offline for privacy.
So I built VoiceGecko. It's a lightweight desktop app that gets out of your way and just lets you talk.
Give the technique a try. Stop letting your keyboard slow down your best ideas.
