Hlas / Dictation for developers

Dictation for developers

Hlas dictates prompts into Claude Code, Cursor, the terminal and ChatGPT, and turns spoken symbols like "at sign" or "underscore" into characters.

Why dictate prompts?

You speak about three times faster than you type, and longer prompts with context get better results. Hlas types into any app with a cursor.

How do I get library names right?

Add them to the vocabulary with how the model mishears them, for example Kubernetes and "cooper netties". Hlas then writes them exactly.

Which symbols can I say?

Turn on spoken symbols in Labs: at sign, underscore, slash, hashtag, parentheses, colon and more, plus "dot com" for domains. Works in English and Czech.

Will it slow my machine down?

No. Idle, Hlas uses about 60 MB of RAM and the model unloads after 3 minutes of silence. Hlas Cloud loads no model at all.
