🔊 VoxPilot v0.3.9 — Sound Feedback
VoxPilot just got more intuitive. Version 0.3.9 adds subtle audio beeps when you start and stop voice input, so you always know exactly when your IDE is listening.
What's New
- Start beep — a short high-pitched chirp (880Hz, 80ms) when listening begins
- Stop beep — a lower tone (440Hz, 60ms) when listening ends
- Cross-platform — works on macOS (afplay), Linux (aplay/paplay), and Windows (PowerShell)
- Zero dependencies — sounds are generated as lightweight WAV files with fade in/out to avoid clicks
-
Configurable — toggle on/off with the
voxpilot.soundFeedbacksetting (on by default)
Why It Matters
When you're coding hands-free, visual feedback alone isn't always enough. A quick beep confirms the mic is active without breaking your flow or forcing you to glance at the status bar.
