Editor Dictation With Cursor Position Insertion

via “editor dictation with cursor-position insertion”

A VS Code extension to bring speech-to-text and other voice capabilities to VS Code.

vs others: Simpler than Google Docs or Microsoft Word's dictation because it doesn't attempt automatic punctuation or formatting, giving users full control but requiring more manual work.
