I use dictation to drive Claude code frequently, and it’s never had a problem with stream of consciousness and retroactive correction. Maybe try just direct voice and see if you notice any difference versus pre-cleaning?

Claude Code's speech recognition works so well for me, I was blown away the first time I tried it. I wish I knew what model they were using (I assume it's not in house since they've never talked about it).

I acknowledge this may just mean I haven't tried enough modern voice recognition systems. But I've used Whisper and I don't think it works nearly as well for real-time speech.

(I still don't tend to use voice mode in Claude Code because I find typing more comfortable.)

This reply helped me think more about what I want. I do my thinking when crafting the prompt, and I want to be able to do several passes. So the first draft I like to dictate and be able to live edit with my voice, but then I want to do a subsequent pass at the keyboard after the full prompt is written.
