Questions worth asking
Can I write code by voice?
Vokalu is best for describing code, not spelling out syntax: prompts, comments, commit messages and docs. Spoken symbols like “slash” and “dash” are typed as symbols.
Which terminals are supported?
Windows Terminal, PowerShell, Command Prompt, WSL and the VS Code and Cursor terminals on Windows; Terminal, iTerm, Ghostty, Warp, WezTerm, kitty and Alacritty on Mac.
