Dictation for Claude Code
Claude Code workflows benefit from precise context. Almond helps you capture long technical constraints quickly while keeping prompts readable and structured.
Where dictation helps most
- Multi-step implementation prompts with explicit constraints.
- Root-cause analysis narratives for failing tests.
- Follow-up instructions after partial assistant output.
Practical pattern
Use an opening template: 'Context', 'Goal', 'Constraints', 'Deliverable'. Dictate each block in full.
Add final verification criteria to reduce ambiguous responses.
Performance benefit
On-device dictation removes additional cloud dictation latency before Claude processing even starts.
Benchmark qualifier
Based on Almond internal testing (February 15, 2026): same 20-second spoken phrase, measured from end of dictation to visible final text result versus Wispr Flow and other cloud-first dictation models.
- Test date: 2026-02-15
- Input: Same 20-second spoken phrase
- Metric: Elapsed time from end of dictation to visible final result
- Comparison group: Wispr Flow and other cloud-first dictation models
