Cursor Dictation lets you use your voice to write and edit directly in your notes, documents, or context window — no typing needed
🎯 What It Does
Speak naturally, and your words will appear wherever your cursor is placed — whether that’s inside a document, a note, or the context window.
You can edit, add, or replace text using voice commands, making it easy to stay hands-free and focused.
Dictation appears live and self-corrects as the full phrase is understood — so don’t worry if things look off mid-sentence.
🗣️ Available Voice Commands
Here’s a list of supported voice commands to help you format, edit, and control dictation efficiently:
Command | What it does |
“New line” | Moves the cursor to a new line |
"New paragraph" | Moves the cursor to a new paragrah (new line with a space in-between the previous location) |
"period" | Inserts a . |
"comma" | Inserts a , |
"colon" | Inserts a : |
"question mark" | Inserts a ? |
"exclamation mark" | Inserts a ! |
💡 Numbers will be transcribed as numerals automatically, so saying “ninety nine” will give you 99
