When wrists flare up mid-quarter, typing gets rationed. Dictation that understands code words and keeps an engineer's terseness is how Cue could keep the work moving.
Some constraints are medical: repetitive strain that turns every thousand keystrokes into a tax. Standard dictation tools tend to fail here twice over, mangling technical vocabulary and producing prose that reads nothing like a terse reviewer.
Terseness preserved
Cue’s cleanup is designed to keep the speaker’s register. Talk through a PR review in fragments, and the fragments can arrive as your fragments: punctuation fixed, filler stripped, brevity intact. The on-device voice profile learns from what you keep, so it can stop adding pleasantries you never use.
- Review comments and RFC paragraphs dictated hands-free
- Service names, CLI flags, and teammate names spelled from your personal dictionary
- On flare days, the keyboard can be for code only
Accessibility needs are the sharpest product test. Tools that pass them tend to be better for everyone.
The personal dictionary is the quiet workhorse here: it is what lets internal service names come out spelled the way your team spells them, which general-purpose dictation rarely gets right.
Dictation that keeps the speaker's register and spells the stack right: it can type what you mean, not what you said, and type it where you are.
