Last month, I was deep in experimentation mode. Testing ideas on every AI tool to see which was good.
Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, v0, Bolt, Lovable, Warp, Trae and what not.
Depending on the problem and solution type. Doesn't matter which one - you have to type a LOT to prompt and build/prototype your idea. That's where vibe coding gets harder.
(I'll tell you which ones I stuck with at the end)
I do typing and prompting all the day like 10-12 hours.
The Breaking Point
I was testing another idea, typing another prompt, and thought:
"Oh man, I'm not gonna do this anymore."
What if I could just... speak?
Looked around. Most dictation products people say are "so good"? All subscription-based ($15-30/month).
Which is fine for them. But I wanted something simpler with essential features, and even better if it's private like transcription processing on my device. And please, not another subscription.
One Month. Zero Experience. Working Product.
Never built a desktop app before. Unless "Hello World" counts.
Started with Electron - so bloated. Moved to Tauri v2. Was concerned because its new and still growing and LLMs can't help much here.
But here we are. Its working very well and available on macOS and Windows. Turns out people are actually looking for.
What VoiceTypr Actually Is:
- Transcription runs locally (nobody can misuse your voice)
- Works in every text field
- $19 once, lifetime deal (limited launch offer right now)
wait, we are open source too
The New Reality
Morning coffee: Voice-prompting instead of typing
All day: Speaking my ideas into existence
Late night: Still have energy
Best part? I can prompt while having coffee Or snacks. Haha
It does perfectly what I wanted - a simple voice dictation that would just works and not another subscription.
In this AI era, it's become a must-have tool. Especially if you're experimenting with AI all day. We're living in text boxes. Every tool is chat based. But we're still typing everything.
The Irony Nobody Talks About
AI was supposed to reduce our workload. Instead, we just moved from typing code to typing instructions about code. From debugging to describing bugs. From writing functions to writing prompts about functions.
Vibe coding shouldn't hurt this much.
Your voice is 3x faster. Your wrists and fingers deserve better.
Oh, and Those Tools I Stuck With?
After all that testing:
- Windsurf for code editor, tab completetion, access other models to use sometimes. Cursor sucks for the pricing and rate limits, was a cursor fanboy btw.
- Claude Code (max) My go to copilot.
- Perplexity for research
- v0 for some UI/UX ideas/inspirations
- Lovable for cool landing page designs
Everything else was just fine, but these are my daily drivers. All powered by my voice now.

I would highly suggest you to try it and share your feedback. My X DM is always open for you and you also can follow me there, I post about AI tools and tips.
What's your AI tool count these days? And be honest - how are your wrists? 👇

Spoken like a developer that never wrote documentation or a specification in their live.
haha, alright you got me, I sleep on deepwiki.com.
btw, I think you might have missed the point that here I'm targeting not only developers but also founders and vibe coders to understand the main context.
