# Dictation for developers on Mac · ZenVoice Source: https://getzenvoice.com/for/developers > Talk to Claude Code, Cursor and your terminal. ZenVoice types exact commands, spells your project's file names, and runs on your Mac. ZenVoice for developers # Talk to your agents. Your terminal gets exact words. Most of a developer's typing now is prose for an agent: what to change, why, and where. ZenVoice writes that prose cleanly, keeps commands exact in a terminal, and spells your project's file names the way they are on disk.

It runs on your Mac, not in the cloud Your voice, your words and your work never leave your Mac. There's no account and nothing to sign in to. You pay once, not every month $14.99 once for two Macs, the launch price for the first 100. No subscription, no word limits. Made for developers The same engine, tuned to how you work: the examples on this page are what ZenVoice really types. ## What slows developers down today. - Long prompts for coding agents take longer to type than the change takes to make. - Dictation tools "fix" commands: flags lose their dashes, paths get capitals. - File and type names come out as ordinary words, so the agent can't find them. ## Three steps, anywhere. 1. 1 Put your cursor anywhere Any app with a text field: an editor, a browser, a chat, a form. 2. 2 Press the shortcut and talk ⌃⌥Space, or hold a key. Your words appear as you speak. 3. 3 It's written Clean text lands at your cursor, in the tone of the app you're in. ## What ZenVoice does for developers. Exact in terminals In a terminal, what you say is typed exactly: dash dash force becomes --force, and nothing is reworded. Your project's file names In editors and agent prompts, “app delegate dot swift” becomes AppDelegate.swift. ZenVoice reads the names in your project, never the files. Clean prompts for agents In Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, your thinking out loud becomes a clear paragraph the agent can act on. Spoken symbols and casing Say “open paren”, “camel case” or “snake case” and get the symbol or the identifier, by rule. ## How ZenVoice compares.

It types into any text field, including Electron editors, Terminal, iTerm, Ghostty and Warp. Does ZenVoice read my code? No. In code editors it reads the file names in the project folder so it can spell them, never the files themselves. Nothing leaves your Mac. Can I dictate a command without it being reformatted? Yes. In terminals ZenVoice keeps your exact words and only writes spoken symbols, such as dashes, as symbols. ## Pay once.
