Show HN: VoxPaste – Fast voice-to-text CLI for dictating to Claude/Cursor

Posted by brockmeier on Thursday February 05, 2026 @01:15PM
from the show-hn dept.

Built this because typing long prompts to Claude Code got tedious. VoxPaste records audio and transcribes via your choice of provider—Mistral, Groq, OpenAI, or Deepgram—then copies directly to clipboard.

Unlike single-provider tools, you can pick the fastest option for your needs. Mistral and Groq deliver fastest. Bind it to a hotkey and invoke from anywhere.

Audio goes directly to your chosen provider.

Also, the new Mistral model is unbelievably fast:

And the costs of usage are very low. For instance, with voxtral-mini-latest, you you can dictate for 5.5 hours and only have to pay $1:
