Voice input for Cursor?
Has anyone been successfully talking to Cursor? I started using Superwhisper but having to copy-paste the generated transcription into Cursor is a chore. Looking for something that just works.

Late to the party, but I'd be curious of what you think of Vibe Coder (launched today, full disclosure: I built it using Cursor for exactly this use case). Open-source extension powered by @Deepgram , integrated into the IDE to make it easy. My favorite thing is the integrated voice agent, where you can talk to it naturally when you're just starting or brainstorming, then when you've got a good plan discussed, you can ask it to generate a project spec just based on your conversation. That helps with switching over to composer agent. Then you can use the integrated dictation and custom prompts to start cruising. Still have to copy and paste the returned dictation now, but I'm working on a way to get around that, at least for Mac's...
Best part: it'll be free! I'm pushing a change in the next few hours that removes any need for the user to provide API keys, so we'll cover the costs. Would love to know if you think of any ways it could be better.
Try Talktastic.
@chrismessina Awesome, thanks! Will do.

@chrismessina curious if you'd say it performs better than @MacWhisper? Been looking at trying one but I'd be using it mostly for in-apps or recording notes/meetings.
@gabe TalkTastic does two things better than MacWhisper:
It improves your dictation to handle grammar and other disfluencies.
It rewrites the dictation transcript to be more suitable for the current visible app — i.e. it takes a screenshot and uses that as context for its LLM rewrite.
I'd experiment with both and see which works better for you!
It's Awesome, Thanks for mentioning it @chrismessina

I use @MacWhisper in Cursor. You can activate it in any text field when holding down the fn key. It replaces the system dictation. Works great!
@vercantez you can't mention files using voice, right?

@steveb You can't @ files but that's not much of a problem for me since I mostly use Composer agent mode which will search for the file and add it to the context automatically if you mention it like "look at views.py to see how we do this first"
@vercantez Thanks Miguel! Will check this out.

I started using @Wispr Flow with Replit and then migrated to using it more generally - really slick and fast implementation!

@rajiv_ayyangar 100% agree

You can use MacWhisper , the free version has dictation as well (I make it)

I use the native voice commands on Mac. Hitting CTRL-CTRL activates and deactivates it. The biggest pain is that for technical terms it does a poor job of getting them right. i.e. SQL != "sequel" and so on. You do have to go back and edit a bit, but it is still a huge time saver.
AND I get to feel like I am living in the future.
@ammonbrown Thanks! Also for the video :)

Hey, founder of @Wispr Flow here. We are working on improvements to voice dictation in Cursor-like apps.
If there are any feature requests you have, feel free to drop them in here!
@agordhandas superwhisper is good , app on iOS and Mac , and if you enable it in Settings and then it type in any text Field option-plus space key. And I wrote this comment, the last part of it actually using superwhisper. The first part I tried to type myself.
Not exactly an answer, but I got distracted by "voice" and "cursor" as I am building a product to boost human-computer productivity through voice, system-wide (on any app) on the Mac. The product is called Mighty Cursor! And yes, it solves the "copy-paste" problems.
