Speed Up Prompting with /voice Input

Use voice commands to explain complex logic without typing.

Activate the /voice command to dictate your technical requirements or questions directly into the Qwen Code terminal agent.

The Scenario

You are deep in a coding session and have a complex architectural idea you want to explain to the AI agent but don't want to type out several paragraphs.

Before & after

The old way

Developers must stop typing code to type out long, descriptive prompts for the AI, which can break their flow and take 1-3 minutes for detailed explanations.

With AI

Run /voice to input your instructions verbally, allowing for faster brainstorming and hands-free coding guidance. This captures thoughts in seconds.

The Prompt

/voice

Voice input is part of the v0.19.2 release and is designed to make the interaction with the terminal agent more fluid and less taxing for high-level technical descriptions.
