Use Voice Input to Speed Up Terminal-Based Coding Workflows

Speak your logic to ship code faster without typing.

Use the new /voice command in Qwen Code to dictate coding requirements and logic instead of manually typing them into the terminal.

The Scenario

You are mid-flow and need to implement a complex function, but your typing speed is slowing down your thought process. You want to quickly describe the logic out loud and have the agent scaffold it.

Before & after

The old way

Developers usually spend significant time typing out complex logic requirements or feature descriptions in the terminal. (Time cost: 10-15 minutes)

With AI

Use the `/voice` command to dictate your logic, and let the agent generate the corresponding code or documentation instantly. (Time cost: 1-2 minutes)

The Prompt

/voice [DESCRIBE_THE_FEATURE_OR_CODE_LOGIC_YOU_WANT_TO_IMPLEMENT]

This feature is part of the v0.19.2 release, designed to improve the 'terminal-first' developer experience by removing typing bottlenecks.
