# Voice prompts for Cursor

> The Composer is great. The Chat is great. The Cmd+K inline edit is great. Typing the prompts for all three, all day long, is not great. ParrotPad is a global push-to-talk that pastes clean text into whichever Cursor input has the cursor.

## Pain points it solves
- **Re-prompting the Composer twenty times per feature** - hold the hotkey, describe the change at speaking pace, release. The prompt is in Composer in under a second.
- **Cmd+K's typing-the-instruction bottleneck** - hit Cmd+K, hold ParrotPad's hotkey, talk. Even one-line edits land faster than you can type them.
- **"useState" becoming "use state"** - drop your stack into the personal dictionary; the speech engine receives them as keyword hints.

## Where Cursor users live
- Composer - feature briefs, refactor instructions, multi-file plans
- Chat - "why is this broken", "suggest a cleaner pattern", debugging out loud
- Cmd+K - inline edits at speaking pace
- Terminal & Claude Code - same hotkey, same dictionary, different window
- PR descriptions & Linear tickets - the boring writing around the code
