Dictation

Reference this skill when the user mentions dictation, voice input, or the Dictate Hammerspoon spoon.

How It Works

Dictation is triggered by Cmd+Shift+D via Hammerspoon. The flow:

  1. Hammerspoon runs the macOS Shortcut "Dictate to Clipboard"
  2. The shortcut captures speech and places text in the clipboard
  3. Hammerspoon marks the clipboard item with a custom MIME type (application/x-dictation)
  4. Hammerspoon pastes the text with Cmd+V
  5. Old dictation entries are cleaned up from CopyQ (keeps last 2)

Key Files

  • Spoon: ~/projects/dotfiles/window_manager/hammerspoon/Spoons/Dictate.spoon/init.lua
