Terminal & Claude Code

L33t Speak detects when your terminal panel is focused and routes dictated text directly into the active terminal.

How It Works

1. Click into a terminal in VS Code (the cursor should be blinking in the terminal)
2. Press Cmd+Shift+D to start dictation
3. Speak your command or message
4. Press Cmd+Shift+D to stop — text appears in the terminal input

The text is typed into the terminal without pressing Enter, so you can review it before submitting.

Claude Code Integration

This works naturally with Claude Code running in a VS Code terminal:

1. Start Claude Code in a terminal (claude)
2. Click into that terminal
3. Press Cmd+Shift+D and speak your prompt
4. Stop recording — your spoken words appear in Claude Code's input
5. Press Enter to submit (or edit first)

Tips

• Text is inserted without a trailing newline — you control when to submit
• If you have multiple terminals open, text goes to the active (focused) terminal
• Use ESC to cancel if you misspoke — nothing will be sent to the terminal
