Cursorless Enablement Group
Help enable the adoption of Cursorless by accelerating its development.
Cursorless, an open-source spoken language for editing code, enables users to write software entirely by voice faster than with a keyboard and mouse. Software engineers can code using high-level semantic manipulations (increased productivity), and all computer users can reduce strain on their wrists to prevent injury (preventative healthcare).
Cursorless development is user-led
Your support will help Cursorless founder, Pokey Rule, and his team develop the following feature requests as quickly as possible:
- Reduce the learning curve with interactive tutorials, videos, and documentation to increase the rate of adoption.
- Launch Cursorless in other IDEs, such as JetBrains, emacs, etc, as well as in a web browser, and even work globally using OCR / accessibility APIs to operate anywhere on the screen.
- Further improvements to the Cursorless execution engine to advance the state of the art in voice coding.
🫶 Developers love Cursorless
"Phenomenal extension. This is the state of the art for coding by voice. Nothing else comes close. Awesome to see this from the open source community!"
"This extension is a genuine game-changer. As someone who suffers with chronic RSI, I was seriously concerned I would be unfit to continue my career long-term. Discovering Talon and Cursorless has given me hope again and has additionally given me the means to write code and interface with my computer in ways I never thought possible. It's also made coding way more fun than before! I often feel like a code-slinging wizard!"
"For developers turning to Talon due to typing limitations, Cursorless isn’t just beneficial—it’s indispensable. When I lost my ability to type due to RSI, I was consumed with the fear of significantly reduced productivity and potentially not being able to work anymore. However, when I discovered Cursorless, it gave me hope and confidence that I could regain my prior efficiency once I mastered the tool."
"This is fantastic extension that is not only saving my career but is even speeding up my workflow within VS Code more than when I was typing anyway. The best part is you really feel like a hacker when you rattle off a long command and the code does exactly what you wanted!"
🎯 Goals
Cursorless needs a dedicated, full-time software engineer on staff. This will cost $5,000 USD per month. The Enablement Group guides development and the participation fees contribute to this crucial funding. Cursorless will always be open source.
