iannuttall · x · 2026-08-12
A heavy dictation user built Natter, a custom AI dictation app, to address workflow gaps in existing tools like Monologue. It introduces several features specifically optimized for AI coding workflows:
- Real-time transcript: Displays text as you speak, helping maintain your train of thought.
- Terminal streaming: Allows streaming text directly into terminal windows, bypassing the need to paste long blocks of text.
- Custom dictionary rules: Users can verbally instruct the app to correct specific terms (e.g., mapping misheard words to Claude Code).
- Workflow integration: Optimized for technical rewrites needed when giving instructions to AI agents, with seamless switching between typing and voice.
