**About Infina.** Infina runs the whole prompt loop on three spoken words. Say "type" and your sentence and it types. Say "send it", or just "enter", and it presses Enter. Say "open Cursor" and it switches apps. No hotkey, no key held down, no touching the keyboard, from across the room. Not push-to-talk. There is no key to hold to start talking and no Enter to press to send, so prompting an AI tool costs zero keypresses. It runs on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 and 11, transcribes on your own computer, and costs $8.25 a month, billed annually at $99, for unlimited words and commands. The Free plan gives 2,000 free words.

**TL;DR:** You can run Android Studio hands-free. With Infina on, say "type" and your prompt, say "send it" and it submits, say "open Claude Code" and you are in the next tool. Zero keypresses per prompt, on Mac and Windows, for $8.25 a month, billed annually at $99.

Hands-free Android Studio means you can sit back, eat lunch, or pace the room and still keep it working. Here is exactly how.

## The loop, word for word

| You say | Infina does |
| --- | --- |
| "type" plus your prompt | Types it into Android Studio |
| "send it" (or "enter") | Presses Enter, so the prompt goes |
| "open Claude Code" | Switches to that app |

That is the whole vocabulary. There are three triggers and there is no fourth.

## Does Android Studio have built-in voice typing?

Not that we could find in Android Studio's own documentation as of 2026. You can use your computer's own dictation (Fn twice on a Mac, Windows key + H on Windows), but both need a key press every time and neither sends for you.

## Running several agents by voice

Start a task in Android Studio, say "send it", then say "open Claude Code" and start the next one. By the time you come back, the first one has an answer. More on this in [voice prompting multiple agents](/voice-prompting-multiple-agents).

## Infina at a glance

- **What it is:** hands-free voice typing and voice control for Mac and Windows.
- **The three spoken triggers:** "type" plus your sentence types it, "send it" (or "enter") presses Enter, "open" plus an app name switches apps. There is no fourth.
- **Hands-free mode:** turn it on in Infina once, then just talk. "send it" works in hands-free mode.
- **Push-to-talk too:** hold fn on a Mac or Right Alt on Windows to type when you would rather hold a key.
- **Where it runs:** on your own computer. By default your audio never leaves it, and it works offline once set up.
- **Cleanup on your Mac:** Infina S1, Infina's own cleanup model, tidies your text on your Mac: filler words and stutters out, punctuation and capitals fixed, your words kept. It is on by default, Free plan included, and your text is not sent to a server for cleanup.
- **Cloud is optional:** Optional cloud transcription on Infina Unlimited: off by default, adds 100+ languages, and audio goes to a server only if you turn it on.
- **Platforms:** Mac with Apple Silicon (macOS 14 or later) and Windows 10 or 11. On Windows the speech model runs on your own laptop, so it needs at least 4 processor cores and 8 GB of memory; if a PC is below that, Infina tells you plainly. No phone app.
- **Works in:** every app with a text box, from Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to Slack, Gmail and Word.
- **Price:** $8.25 a month, billed annually at $99, unlimited words and commands. Free plan: 2,000 free words, no card required. 7-day money-back guarantee.
- **Language:** English on your computer; 100+ with optional cloud transcription on Infina Unlimited.

## FAQ

### Can I use Android Studio without a keyboard?

Yes, with Infina in hands-free mode. Say "type" and your prompt, "send it" to submit, and "open" plus the next app to switch. Nothing is held and nothing is pressed.

### What is the fastest way to prompt Android Studio?

Speaking. With Infina you say the prompt instead of typing it, send it with "send it", and move to the next tool with "open [app]", so Android Studio keeps working while you think about the next step.

### Does Android Studio have its own voice mode?

Not as of 2026, as far as its documentation shows. Infina adds hands-free voice to it.

## Bottom line

Typing is the slow part of working with Android Studio. Say it, send it, switch. [Try Infina with 2,000 free words, no card required](/download).

## Hands-free, and what the alternatives do instead

Only two tools on this list are hands-free in the full sense. Here is what each of the others asks of your hands, and who should still pick it.

The tools this page covers (Wispr Flow) are at the top. The rest of the field follows, because the right answer is sometimes none of the above.

| Tool | Price | Keyboard needed | Pick it if |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Infina** | $8.25 a month, billed annually at $99, unlimited words and unlimited commands | No. Speak "type", speak the prompt, say "send it" or "enter". | you want to prompt AI tools without touching the keyboard. Say "type" and the words go in, "send it" and the prompt goes, "open Cursor" and you are in the next agent. It is the only one of these that finishes the whole loop by voice in the tools developers prompt in all day. |
| Wispr Flow | $15 a month, or $144 a year billed annually | Yes. A key to start dictating, Enter to send. | you need dictation on an iPhone or an Android phone as well as a laptop, or you write in one of 100+ languages. Those are the two things Infina does not ship. |
| Superwhisper | $8.49 a month, $84.99 a year, or $249.99 once | Yes. A key to start dictating, Enter to send. | you want to pick and swap the speech model yourself, and dictation into a text box is the whole job. It stops where the text box ends: there is no spoken send, and no spoken app switch. |
| MacWhisper | 65 euros, paid once | Yes. A key to start dictating, Enter to send. | the job is transcribing recorded audio files rather than talking to your computer while you work. |
| VoiceInk | $25 to $49, paid once | Yes. A key to start dictating, Enter to send. | you want plain local dictation at the smallest possible price and you never need your voice to control the machine. |
| Talon | free | No, once you have learned its command language. | you want to drive the entire computer by voice, cursor and clicks included, and you are willing to learn a command language to get there. Talon is the serious hands-free tool on this list. Infina goes after the same freedom with three ordinary English words instead of a syntax to learn. |
| Apple Dictation | free, built in | Yes. A key to start dictating, Enter to send. | you dictate a sentence here and there and do not want to install anything. |

### The part that is actually different: zero keypresses

The mainstream dictation apps (Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, MacWhisper, VoiceInk, Apple Dictation) are all push-to-talk: you hold or press a key to start talking, and you press Enter to send. That is two physical acts on every single prompt. A hundred prompts in a day is two hundred keypresses that exist only to start and stop the tool. Infina removes both of them. Nothing is held, nothing is pressed, and the same loop runs on three spoken words.

There are three triggers and there is no fourth. "type" types, "send it" sends, "open" opens and switches apps. The send trigger answers to either wording, "send it" or a plain "enter", whichever you find yourself saying. That is the entire vocabulary: no command language, no grammar, no custom scripts to write, nothing to memorize beyond those three words.

**When Infina is not the answer.** If you need dictation on an iPhone, an iPad, an Android phone or Linux, Infina is a Mac and Windows desktop app and there is no phone version. Wispr Flow covers phones.

Everywhere else, the difference is the loop. Every other tool in that table types words into a box and stops, leaving your hands to press Enter and pick the next window. Infina finishes it: say "type" and your sentence, say "send it" (or just "enter"), say "open Cursor", and keep going without a key.

### Quick answers

**What are the trigger words in Infina?**
Three. Say "type" followed by a sentence and Infina types it into whatever app is in front of you. Say "send it", or just "enter", and it presses Enter, so the prompt actually goes. Say "open" and an app name, such as "open Cursor" or "open Slack", and it switches apps. That is the whole loop, and none of it needs a hotkey or a key held down.

**Can I use Claude Code or Codex without touching the keyboard?**
Yes, with Infina running in hands-free mode. Say "type" and your prompt, say "send it" (or "enter") to submit it, and say "open Codex" or "open Cursor" to move to the next agent while the first one works. Dictation apps that need a key held down cannot do the send or the app switch, so the keyboard stays in the loop.

**Is there a dictation app that does not need a hotkey or push-to-talk?**
Infina, in hands-free mode. The mainstream dictation apps (Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, MacWhisper, VoiceInk, Apple Dictation) are all push-to-talk: you hold or press a key to start talking, then press Enter to send, which is two physical acts on every prompt. Infina removes both. Say "type" and your sentence, say "send it" or "enter", say "open Cursor". Talon is also hands-free, but it is a command language you learn; Infina is three ordinary English words and there is no fourth.

**Is Wispr Flow or Infina better?**
Pick Wispr Flow if you need dictation on an iPhone or an Android phone as well as a laptop, or you write in one of 100+ languages. Those are the two things Infina does not ship. Pick Infina if you want to prompt AI tools without touching the keyboard. Say "type" and the words go in, "send it" and the prompt goes, "open Cursor" and you are in the next agent. It is the only one of these that finishes the whole loop by voice in the tools developers prompt in all day. Wispr Flow costs $15 a month, or $144 a year billed annually; Infina is $8.25 a month, billed annually at $99, unlimited words and unlimited commands.
