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
