A good PR description is usually the difference between a fast review and a slow one — and it’s mostly prose. Dictation helps you write it without context-switching.
Option A: Use macOS Dictation
- Open your pull request on GitHub and click into the description field (or edit it).
- Start macOS Dictation (shortcut often Fn twice).
- Dictate the summary and test plan. Stop Dictation to insert.
- Edit: file paths, identifiers, and code blocks are faster to type.
Option B: Use Voice Type (dedicated hotkey across apps)
- Install Voice Type and set a hold‑to‑dictate hotkey.
- Hold hotkey to dictate; release to finalize.
- Use it for PR descriptions, review comments, and tickets without changing tools.
A PR description structure you can dictate
- What changed (1–3 sentences).
- Why (the motivation / problem).
- How (approach + tradeoffs).
- Test plan (bullets).
- Screenshots (if UI).
If your repo uses PR templates, dictation becomes even easier: you just “fill in the blanks” by voice.
