VibeMic 🎤

Voice-to-text for vibe coding. Record your voice, auto-transcribe with OpenAI Whisper, and paste directly into any VS Code input — including AI chat boxes (Claude Code, Copilot Chat, ChatGPT, etc.)

How it works

1. Press PgDn to start recording — status bar turns red
2. Press PgDn again to stop — transcription happens automatically
3. Text is copied to clipboard and pasted at your cursor position

Mobile / Web (code-server on iPad / iPhone)

1. Tap 🎤 Record in the VibeMic panel
2. Speak — button turns red while recording
3. Tap ⏹ Stop — transcription happens automatically

Why VibeMic?

AI chat boxes in VS Code don't support voice input. The built-in VS Code Speech extension only works with Copilot Chat. VibeMic fills the gap — it works with any input field in VS Code.

Built for the vibe coding era. Stop typing, start talking.
