GitHub issues are mostly prose. Dictation is a cheat code here: talk through the repro and context, then edit the last 10% for clarity.
Option A: Use macOS Dictation in the browser
- Open GitHub in your browser and click into the issue title/body.
- Start macOS Dictation (shortcut often Fn twice).
- Speak your issue. Stop Dictation to insert.
- Edit: code blocks, file paths, and identifiers are still faster to type.
Option B: Use Voice Type (best if you file issues daily)
- Install Voice Type and set a hold‑to‑dictate hotkey.
- Hold hotkey to dictate the issue body; release to finalize.
- Use the same hotkey in VS Code, Cursor, Linear/Jira, and Slack.
A template you can dictate (high signal)
Dictate this structure, then edit:
- One sentence summary (what broke).
- Steps to reproduce (numbered).
- Expected vs actual result.
- Environment (OS, version, browser).
- Acceptance criteria (checklist).
Troubleshooting (mic permissions)
- System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → allow your browser (and Voice Type if you use it).
- Dictation not working on Mac (checklist)
