Built for AI builders
You're always bouncing between agents. WavType keeps up.
If your day is Cursor → Claude → Codex → Grok → browser → back again, you already talk faster than you type. WavType is a desktop hotkey for that loop: speak a prompt, a follow-up, a bug report, a commit message — then shape it yourself with Shift if you need to before it hits the clipboard.

Switching to Cursor
2
Talk like you prompt
Dictate the full thought. Hold Shift mid-take to speak edits. Cancel if the take is trash. No retyping the same prompt three times.
3
Clipboard first, paste when safe
Every good take is copied to your clipboard. If your mouse barely moved, WavType also auto-pastes into the focused field. Moved away? Nothing forced in — just paste with Ctrl/⌘+V where you want it.
Your edit key
Shift
You control the output. Hold Shift and say the change.
No mystery post-processing layer to learn. If something's wrong mid-prompt, you fix it yourself while still recording. That keeps the final text yours.
- While recording, hold Shift and speak the edit.
- Release Shift and keep dictating. Your spoken edits apply before clipboard/paste.
- Remap the edit key in settings if Shift isn't your style.
The rest of the workflow
Details that matter when you live in AI tools.
The pill is the tip. Underneath is a desktop workflow built for multi-agent days — hotkey, Shift edits, clipboard, paste when safe.
Any chat, any editor
No browser extension. No “supported apps” list. If you can type into Cursor, Claude, Codex, Grok, Slack, or a terminal — WavType can feed that field (or your clipboard).
Cancel without regret
Bad take? Ctrl+Shift+X (or the X on the pill). Nothing pastes, nothing forced onto the wrong window.
Pro or bring-your-own-key
Pro: hosted and simple. Developer: lifetime license with your own xAI / OpenAI / Gemini keys — same stack you already pay for as a builder.
Local logs (optional)
Save audio + text locally when you want a trail of prompts that actually worked across Cursor, Claude, and the rest.
Talk to your agents at the speed you think.
Install WavType, hotkey in Cursor or Claude, hold Shift to steer the take, and paste only when you mean to.
