Voice dictation for Cursor and AI coding
Writing long, precise prompts to an AI coding agent like Cursor is a lot of typing — and you already type all day. You speak about three times faster than you type (161 vs 54 words per minute), so dictating your prompts, comments, and commit messages is the fastest way to steer Cursor. Eko works system-wide, so it types straight into Cursor’s chat box, the editor, or the terminal — no copy-paste.

Dictate prompts 3× faster
Press ⌥D and speak your instruction to Cursor’s agent. Eko types it right where your cursor is — long, detailed prompts without the finger fatigue.
Fix and rewrite in place
Select a rough prompt or comment and press ⌥C to clean it up, or ⌥F to ask AI to tighten it — the result is pasted back in place, inside Cursor.
Keep proprietary code private
Run Eko fully on-device with a local model, or plug in your own API key. Your dictation and code don’t have to leave your Mac.
Works everywhere, not just Cursor
The same shortcut dictates into VS Code, the terminal, GitHub, Slack, email — anywhere you have a cursor. One tool for your whole workflow.

FAQ
Does Eko work inside Cursor?
Yes. Eko is system-wide — it types into whatever app has focus, including Cursor’s chat box, the code editor, and the integrated terminal, with no copy-paste or extension needed.
Is my code and dictation private?
It can be. Eko can run fully on-device with a local model so nothing leaves your Mac, or you can bring your own API key and only talk to the provider you choose.
Why dictate prompts instead of typing them?
You speak roughly 3× faster than you type (about 161 words per minute vs 54), so dictating long, detailed prompts to an AI agent like Cursor is much faster and less tiring.
How much does Eko cost?
Eko is $39 once — no subscription. That includes dictation plus correction, translation, ask-AI, screen vision, and app-launching.
Does Eko replace GitHub Copilot or Cursor’s AI?
No — Eko is a voice-and-text layer that feeds those tools faster. It handles dictation and text actions; Cursor still does the code generation.
