VoiceTeX + VS Code

App available

Dictate into any file, with or without the extension.

What works today

Nothing to install. Put your cursor in a file, press the shortcut, speak, press again — the LaTeX is pasted at your cursor, and one Ctrl+Z undoes it. It travels through your clipboard, so whatever you had copied is replaced. Pasting is deliberate: typing the LaTeX key by key would go through your keyboard layout, where a dead-key circumflex — the exponent operator — is swallowed. The extension is the way around it.

What the extension will add

A dedicated extension comes with Premium: you download it from your account and install the .vsix by hand — it is not in the Marketplace yet, so it does not update itself. It adds a status bar entry showing when VoiceTeX is listening, and inserts through the editor's own API rather than the clipboard, so what you had copied stays where it was. That has been measured inside a real VS Code, not assumed. It still asks the desktop app to listen: transcription stays on your machine.

Getting there

  1. 1Install the desktop app.
  2. 2Open any file in VS Code and place your cursor.
  3. 3Press Ctrl+Alt+D, say the formula, press again.
