I’ve been really enjoying voice to text + LLMs recently, via a great Mac App called Super Whisper (which can work with local speech to text models, so could also possibly be used for confidential stuff) - combining Super Whisper and Claude and Cursor means I can just vaguely ramble at my laptop about what experiments should happen and they happen, it’s magical!
For anyone else who stumbles across this thread: when modifying the superwhisper toggle settings, hit spacebar then control, instead of control then spacebar. Also, it turns out that Control + Space is the default shortcut for switching keyboard input sources (at least on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1), make sure to disable that by going to System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts →Input Sources.

What keybinding do you set for it?
IIRC, ⌥+space conflicts with the default for ChatGPT and Alfred.app (which I use for clipboard history).
Control space
