SPEAK_EXECUTE
Voice-controlled terminal for developers. Speak your commands naturally and watch them run. Multi-tab terminals, split panes, and your choice of AI provider.
NEW IN v3.3.0
Linux builds, hardened transcription, and Wayland shortcuts
Linux downloads
AppImage and .deb builds now ship alongside Windows and macOS. One voice terminal, every desktop.
Hardened transcription
Batch cloud transcription requests now run in the main process instead of the renderer.
Wayland shortcuts
Global hotkeys register under Wayland, not just X11, so the Alt bindings work on modern Linux desktops.
SYSTEM_CAPABILITIES
Everything you need to control your terminal with voice
VOICE_RECOGNITION
Multiple AI providers: Gemini 2.0/2.5 Flash, ElevenLabs Scribe (real-time or batch), or fully offline with bundled local Whisper. Parakeet is also supported if you run your own NVIDIA GPU server. Choose your engine.
SPLIT_VIEW
Up to 4 terminals visible at once. 5 layout modes: single, horizontal, vertical, 2x2 grid, 1+2. Resizable panes.
QUICK_NAV
Jump to recent or favorite directories with one click. Star your project folders for instant access.
CONTEXT_AWARE
Agent mode understands your environment: current directory, recent output, errors. Smarter commands.
CLAUDE_CODE
Detects Claude Code /voice mode and hands off cleanly: shows a [CC /voice] badge and pauses the built-in mic so the two never fight.
PREVIEW_PANE
Embedded web preview for localhost dev servers. Auto-refresh on file changes. Screenshot capture.
OPERATION_SEQUENCE
Three steps to voice-powered productivity
ACTIVATE
Press your configured hotkey (Alt+S on Windows, Option+S on Mac) to start voice capture. The floating overlay appears.
SPEAK
Say your command naturally. "List all JavaScript files" or "Git status". The AI transcribes and converts.
EXECUTE
The command runs in your active terminal and the results come back in place. Hands stay on the keyboard.
