🎤 Built Entirely with Voice

This Entire Application Was Built Using Only My Voice

Both the desktop application and web platform—built entirely by talking to AI. Proof that SpeakEasy works.

Why I Built This

I created SpeakEasy out of necessity. As a developer, I needed a way to interact with AI coding assistants like Windsurf and Cline more fluidly. The bottleneck wasn't my thinking—it was the typing.

By adding rich context through voice, I could maintain my flow state and give AI assistants exactly what they needed without losing momentum. The result? A tool that transformed how I work.

And the irony? I built this entire application using the very tool I created—proving its effectiveness every step of the way.

The Impact

2-3x

Productivity Increase — I can now accomplish in one hour what used to take 2-3 hours

100%

Built with Voice — Every line of code, every design decision, every feature—all created by talking

Flow State — Never lose your train of thought or break momentum while coding

This isn't just marketing hype. SpeakEasy was born from real developer pain and built using the exact solution it provides. Every feature, every line of code—created by voice.

If I could build an entire application using only my voice, imagine what you can do.

Tired of typing long prompts in Windsurf?

SpeakEasy lets you speak naturally and automatically adds files to context with @ syntax

  • Manually typing @filename for every file reference
  • Losing your train of thought while typing
  • Slow iteration with AI assistants
  • Speak naturally at 150+ words per minute
  • Say "main dot ts" → automatically becomes @main.ts
  • Keep your flow state and think out loud
