The Developer's Guide to Getting Started with Voice-First Coding
Voice AI is not just for customer support bots anymore. Here is how developers can start using voice-first tools to write, review, and document code faster — starting today.

Codelikha is a voice-powered AI coding platform on a mission to make software development as natural as having a conversation.
The name says it all: Likha (लिखा) means “to write” in Hindi. Codelikha means writing code — not by typing, but by speaking. We started with a simple observation: developers spend more time thinking about what to build than actually building it. Voice AI collapses that gap entirely.
We built Codelikha on a foundation of state-of-the-art voice AI, engineered for the speed and naturalness needed to make voice-to-code feel like talking to a senior engineer, not a search engine. Our goal is to ship Codelikha to every developer who has ever wished they could just describe what they want and have it appear.
- Programming languages supported
- 40+
- Target developers in India
- 5M+
- Voice response latency
- <500ms
Our mission - Make coding as natural as speaking.
We believe the keyboard is not the final interface for software development. Voice is.
- Voice-first. Every feature in Codelikha is designed around voice from the ground up — not bolted on as an afterthought.
- Developer-centric. We build for developers, by developers. Every design decision is validated with real engineers who code every day.
- Inclusive by design. Voice coding opens software development to people with mobility challenges, RSI, and anyone who thinks faster than they type.

What we believe
- Voice is inevitable. Every major computing shift — from command line to GUI to touch — opened development to more people. Voice is the next leap.
- Speed through naturalness. Developers lose flow state switching between thinking and typing. Voice keeps you in the zone.
- India leads the way. With 5M+ developers and a booming tech ecosystem, India is the ideal launchpad for a voice-first coding revolution.
- AI should explain itself. Generated code that nobody understands is technical debt waiting to happen. Codelikha narrates every decision.
- Accessibility is a feature. Voice coding is not a workaround — it is a better interface for everyone, not just those who need it.
- Open iteration. Great software is built through conversation. We are building Codelikha the same way — in dialogue with real developers.
