Vox is a GitHub Copilot CLI extension: run /vox and a reactive listening orb opens in its own window. Speak your turn, hear the agent reply. Voice in, voice out — on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm the maker of Vox. I use GitHub Copilot constantly and got tired of being pinned to the keyboard, so I built a way to just talk to it. Run /vox and a reactive orb opens in its own window — you speak your turn, the session hears it, and the reply is read back. Voice in, voice out. You can barge in by voice to interrupt and correct it, there are live captions and a transcript, and it even reads your typed replies aloud. It works in the Copilot CLI and inside the Copilot app. It's pure JavaScript with no build step — it uses the browser's Web Speech APIs by launching Chromium in app mode instead of shipping Electron — so it installs in one line on Windows/macOS/Linux. Free and open source (MIT). I started it as an accessibility-minded experiment (a hands-free way to drive an agent), so I'd especially love feedback on the voice timing and the interrupt flow. Ask me anything!
The reactive listening orb in its own dedicated window is a really nice touch, keeps the voice interaction feeling like a proper companion rather than just another terminal pane.
Voice for coding agents gets compelling when interruption and correction are first-class, not an afterthought. The agent is going to misunderstand file names, symbols, and intent sometimes; the useful workflow is being able to stop it, restate the constraint, and keep the same session alive without touching the keyboard. Nice to see barge-in called out explicitly.
That's clever. Any plans to support other AI coding assistants beyond GitHub Copilot?
Me appreciate the simple setup process. Why not include offline support? I think limited offline features would increase reliability.
Does the orb stay open in the background while I keep coding, or do I have to keep invoking /vox every time I want to switch from typing to talking?
I Love the idea of talking to Copilot, how smooth is the voice flow when you interrupt or correct mid conversation?
How does it handle accents or noisy environments in practice, and is the voice model running locally or hitting an external API that could add latency or cost per conversation?
launching Chromium in app mode instead of shipping Electron is such a clean hack, one-line install with no build step because the browser already has the speech APIs. more tools should steal this
the barge-in interrupt is the detail that makes voice actually usable btw, nothing worse than waiting out a wrong answer
The voice input part is straightforward enough, but the interesting question is how well it handles the parts of coding where spoken intent gets ambiguous fast. Saying "refactor that function" out loud works fine when context is obvious, but what happens when Copilot needs clarification and the back-and-forth becomes a longer conversation? Curious whether Vox supports that kind of multi-turn dialogue or whether it's essentially one-shot voice-to-prompt with no correction loop. Also wondering how it handles things like variable names, file paths, or syntax that's painful to dictate accurately.
