It pairs well with Coda AI tools for rewriting and summarizing. In the first steps below, we’ll show how to use voice dictation in Coda with Vibe Typer and a simple hotkey.

Coda and dictation

There is no mic icon to convert speech to text inside Coda’s editor. Voice typing requires a system-wide approach that works anywhere your cursor can type.
