This release is all about giving you a new way to interact with the command line. It matters most to developers who want to work faster by dictating their instructions out loud, or anyone who prefers speaking over typing a lot of code commands.
What's new
- Voice commands: You can now use the
/voicecommand to speak your prompts out loud. Instead of typing out a long instruction, you can dictate it, and the tool will use local speech-to-text models to turn your voice into text. (A "local model" means the audio is processed right on your own computer, rather than being sent to the internet, which is faster and keeps your data private).
