Thanks Neel! I’m glad you found it helpful. If you or your scholars recommend any other tools not mentioned in the post, I’d be interested to hear more.
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
