The Voice Pad is a push-to-talk voice macropad: a compact mechanical keypad with a microphone built into the body, so you hold a key, speak, release, and the transcription is typed into your agent. It stays flat on the desk rather than coming up to your mouth, which makes it cheaper than the Whisper Key and better suited to a private room.
What is the Voice Pad?
A compact mechanical keypad with an integrated microphone, sold specifically for voice input to coding agents. The remaining keys work as ordinary programmable macro keys.
What is the Voice Pad for?
The same dictation workflow as the Whisper Key at a lower price. Because the microphone sits on the desk instead of near your lips, you have to speak up, so it suits a room you have to yourself.
How do you use the Voice Pad?
- Connect the Voice Pad.
- Hold the dictation key and speak.
- Release; the transcription is typed into the focused window.
- Program the remaining keys as macro keys.

How does the Voice Pad compare?
The Voice Pad versus the Whisper Key: same job, different distance. The Whisper Key is handheld and works in a shared office because the microphone reaches your lips. The Voice Pad is desk-mounted and cheaper. In an open-plan office, buy the Whisper Key.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Voice Pad different from the Whisper Key?
The Whisper Key is handheld, so the microphone comes to within about 30 mm of your lips and you can whisper. The Voice Pad sits on the desk, so you have to speak at normal volume.
Can I use the other keys as macros?
Yes. Apart from the dictation key they behave as ordinary programmable mechanical macro keys.
