Code reviews without context switches
A pull-request review needs nuance: a one-line "looks good" misses the point, a wall of text loses the reviewer. With WhisPaste you press your hotkey, speak the explanation while you read the diff, and the transcript lands directly in the GitHub reply field, with the punctuation and capitalisation Whisper produces. Identifiers such as `fooBar` can be added to your custom vocabulary or imported from a code project, so they come out spelled correctly.
Commit messages and PR descriptions
Conventional commits and PR bodies often deserve more than three words, but the friction of writing them slows you down. Open the editor, speak the rationale, and the transcript shows up at your cursor, ready to edit, expand with a voice snippet, or paste into your terminal.
Issue tracker, Slack, and standups
Repro steps in a bug ticket, async standup notes in Slack, a quick comment on a Linear issue. All of these are short but high-friction. WhisPaste runs in the background and works everywhere your cursor goes: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Discord, Slack, your editor. Audio stays on your machine in local mode.
Place your cursor in the reply field
Click into the GitHub review comment, the commit-message editor, or the Slack input, wherever you would normally type.
Press your hotkey and speak
Hold your configured hotkey, say your answer out loud, and release. The transcript is created locally on your machine by default.
The transcript appears at the cursor
Your text lands where you left the cursor. Edit, expand with a voice snippet, or send. No copy-paste step between voice and text.
Docs and code comments
A README update, a docstring that explains why a function exists (not just what it does), a TODO comment left for your future self — these get skipped when writing them means switching out of flow. Speak the explanation straight into the editor at the cursor, in the docstring or comment block you already have open, and clean it up afterward instead of not writing it at all.
