Free voice coding for Claude Code, Codex and more

We just built SKI — voice coding for Claude Code, Codex and more. It's not dictation: your agent answers you out loud, like a real teammate, so you build at the speed you think. You can even bring it into a meeting to build live, or send it in your place to speak for you. It's an ambient thing that just sits on your desktop — hit a key, talk, it works. All on your machine, free. Available on Mac & Windows.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Anand, one of the makers.
We build with coding agents every day, and kept catching ourselves typing a three-sentence prompt we could've said out loud in four seconds. Thinking is fast. Typing is not.
So we built SKI. You hold the Function key, say what you want, and your agent goes and does it — then answers you out loud, like a real person. It's an ambient thing: it sits in your notch and never interrupts your flow.
Three things we care about:
• It answers. Voice input for agents already exists — it's one-directional, words in, text out. SKI closes the loop: it speaks the result back.
• It comes to meetings. Bring your coding session into a call as a real teammate and build live — or send your agent in your place to speak for you.
• It's local. Speech in and voice out both run on your machine. No cloud, works offline.
Free for life — Mac and Windows today, Linux next.
First launch for us, so hard questions are genuinely welcome. What agent do you use, and what would make you keep this open all day?
The voice loop makes sense for coding, especially when the prompt in your head is much faster to say than type. How well does SKI handle noisy rooms or shared offices? I can imagine fans, keyboards, background conversations, and meeting audio making this tricky pretty quickly. Does it have any kind of voice isolation or push-to-talk filtering, or is it mainly designed for quieter environments?

@os_ishmael It has noise cancellation. There is push to talk. Function key in mac - hold to speak, and release to end. There are hotkeys for it as well. Can use space bar to mute and unmute if the application is selected as well. One click mute and unmute on widget and notch.
Hotkeys can be configured in both Windows and Mac in Preferences.

@jsurendranathreddy Transcription has improved a lot. And even the LLMs can understand and automatically fix errors in transcription now. There is a review before send option (optional, enabled in preferences), which will let you fix and edit if something needs to be fixed before sending to the agent.
We usually share the screen and ask the agent to change the lines or show it to the agent. Agent can take screenshots of the screen using ski and can learn which part you are talking about.
In short
1. They usually work OK and can understand syntax even with incorrect transcriptions from accents
2. Option to edit before sending
3. Can share screen to show things to the agent (Agent can take screenshots or you can send screenshots using hotkeys). You could highlight and show the agent as well. It takes a look at the screen.

This is interesting. How do you highlight a specific code in a file using dictation? Just curious :)
SKI
@chilarai Multiple options
1. You could just say file name and the lines and LLMs now are intelligent enough to understand it.
2. You could open up the screen and just ask it to take a look at your screen - it can take screenshots and understand the lines. Or you could send screens using hotkeys along with your voice.
3. You could also talk just about the functionality implemented in the code and LLMs can understand them easily.
LLMs are now intelligent enough to understand and correct mistakes in transcription as well.

Will it run on agents running on isolated PCs without internet connection ?
SKI
@clemente_lopez1 Yes, ski runs completely offline once it is installed. No internet connection is needed for it to run.
Hi,
What languages are supported?
SKI
@oleksandr_utkin Great question! Right now @SKI is tuned for English and it works really well. Support for more major languages is next on our roadmap — which one would you want first? 🙌
Small feedback upfront, when I simple click on "Download for Mac" on the website, the download on my device doesn`t start. Workaround found, if I do right click and open in a new tab, then it start the download.

@nik_isonpase Thanks a lot for letting us know. Will fix it soon.
