JompterA VoiceInk alternative that sends your screen with your words.
VoiceInk is fast, private, open-source dictation for Mac, with per-app modes and optional AI enhancement. Jompter is for the moment your words are a prompt: it adds the screenshot, the screen recording and an MCP hand-off, so your coding agent sees what you see.
Free for 7 days · up to 10,000 words · no card · Apple Silicon, macOS Ventura+
Dictation gives you words. Coding agents need context.
Prompts, not just text.
Your words land in the prompt with the screenshot you took mid-sentence and the screen recording of the bug — one Markdown prompt your coding agent reads for itself.
Your agent reads it directly.
Jompter's MCP server hands prompts, screenshots and to-dos to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and OpenCode — no copy and paste.
It sees what you see.
Box, point at or blur part of a screenshot before it's sent, or record the flicker and let Jompter keep the key frames with your transcript.
Context that persists.
Plans keep the error, the screenshots and what you tried, so the follow-up is one line added — not the whole story re-explained.

Speak the bug. Snap the screen. Paste one prompt.

- Copied in one click. Markdown and images together, straight into your agent.

Switching from VoiceInk?
The questions developers ask before trying Jompter.
What comes out. VoiceInk puts polished text where your cursor is. Jompter builds a prompt: your words plus screenshots, annotations and recording frames, kept in a Plan and handed to your agent over MCP or copied in one click.
No. Jompter is a closed-source Mac app. VoiceInk is GPL-licensed, and our open-source roundup compares it with Handy and OpenWhispr.
Both need Apple Silicon. Jompter runs on macOS 13 Ventura and later; VoiceInk lists macOS 14.4 or later.
