01 / Spoken request
“In Atlas, saving a note twice creates a duplicate. Keep the API unchanged. Add a regression test.”
02 / Reviewed draft
Project: Atlas Bug: Saving a note twice creates a duplicate. Constraint: Keep the API unchanged. Check: Add a regression test.
03 / Agent input
Paste the reviewed request into your coding agent. You choose when to send.
Follow a spoken request from the first draft to your input field.
Words → New word or sentence / Replace with...
Add “Atlas” as a spelling hint, or a replacement for a recurring mistake. Test a short sentence and check the name in the result.
Styles → Coding Prompt → Rewrite → Your rules
Select Coding Prompt’s format settings, or add custom rules to organize a request. Review the facts and constraints yourself.
Settings → Shortcuts · Result → Copy
Focus an editable input and use your assigned recording shortcut. After processing, check the text and paste the corrected draft. If automatic paste fails, use Copy.
Automatic paste can put text into the focused field before review. Check it there or in the result, correct it, and send it yourself. Sonicribe does not read your repository or run code.
You use an Apple Silicon Mac, explain long requests, and can send the audio and text to cloud services under your work policy.
You need local-only processing, cannot send audio to the cloud, or use Intel, Windows or mobile. If native dictation is enough, you may not need another subscription.
A NOTE FROM THE BUILDER
I built Sonicribe for the moments when explaining a request aloud feels easier than typing it all. I still check the draft before sending it. Try it with one real, non-sensitive request from your own work.
See the setup and feature guide →With Accessibility permission and the correct input focused, Sonicribe attempts automatic paste after processing. Review the draft before sending. If paste fails, copy the result and paste manually; it does not submit or run commands.
Set Speech language in Settings → Listening, then keep recurring names and technical terms in Words. Dictate your Korean and English terms together and review identifiers, numbers, and negations in the draft.
Try the same request with Apple Dictation. Compare vocabulary, optional formatting, app-specific styles and the editing needed. If the built-in tool meets your needs, you may not need an extra subscription.
No. Sonicribe requires internet and a verified Google account. Audio is processed in the cloud. Choose a local workflow if your data must stay on-device.
Eligible new accounts receive 100 free minutes with Groq Turbo once. No time limit. Recording pauses when the trial is used up; choose a plan to continue. Check eligibility after Google sign-in. Downloading alone does not activate the trial.
With Groq Turbo, Pro is US$7/month for up to about 2,500 minutes a month and Max is US$20/month for up to about 10,700 minutes a month. Other models use more credits; AI cleanup shares the same balance. Paid plans renew monthly, unused credits reset monthly, and recording pauses at zero credits.
The current app is for Apple Silicon Macs. Check your Mac’s chip and microphone; a desktop Mac may need an external microphone.
Microphone permission allows recording. Accessibility permission is used for automatic paste into another app. If paste fails, review and copy the result manually.
Try speech for a long bug or feature explanation. Short precise edits and exact identifiers may be easier to type. Compare the finished request, including corrections and processing time.
Audio goes to cloud speech processing. Optional AI formatting also processes text, rules and vocabulary with external providers. Read the privacy policy and your employer’s rules before using sensitive data. Provider retention policies differ.
Yes. Exactly as spoken skips optional AI formatting, but speech processing still sends audio to a cloud provider. Locally saved transcripts do not mean local-only processing.
No current installer is offered for those platforms. Choose based on the device you use today; no release date is promised here.
No. The draft is returned after you stop and processing finishes. Review the text before sending it to your agent.
You may not need one. Compare your native workflow with Sonicribe’s vocabulary, custom formatting rules and use across your actual Mac input fields. Test the same request and count the edits.
Add spelling hints or word/replacement pairs in Words. Use New group for project terms and choose the group in your style’s Voice section. Dictate a short sentence with the project name and refine the entry around the spelling you need.
