What I want is a 1940s style “taking dictation” where the words I say go through a step where the goal is to create the text Im imagining. So if I say “… very significant, actually just significant…” what Claude Code receives is “…significant…”.
I built this myself with whisper -> “secretary” prompt -> Claude Code, but having the first two steps be interactive is really what I would want.
I use dictation to drive Claude code frequently, and it’s never had a problem with stream of consciousness and retroactive correction. Maybe try just direct voice and see if you notice any difference versus pre-cleaning?
Claude Code's speech recognition works so well for me, I was blown away the first time I tried it. I wish I knew what model they were using (I assume it's not in house since they've never talked about it).
I acknowledge this may just mean I haven't tried enough modern voice recognition systems. But I've used Whisper and I don't think it works nearly as well for real-time speech.
(I still don't tend to use voice mode in Claude Code because I find typing more comfortable.)
