Anthropic has begun rolling out a voice mode in its AI coding assistant Claude Code, according to a social media post by Thariq Shihipar, an engineer at Anthropic. This new feature makes it possible to control the tool with speech commands instead of text prompts.
Voice mode is activated by the command /voice, after which the user can give instructions verbally. For example, you can verbally ask the AI bot to refactor code or change a function.
It’s still unclear what the limitations are when interfacing with Claude Code via voice. Among other things, it’s not known whether there’s a limit to how many voice commands can be issued, or whether the technology is based on an external voice provider, reports TechCrunch.
Voice mode is currently available to around 5 percent of users, but Anthropic plans to roll out the feature more widely in the coming weeks. Incidentally, Anthropic’s regular AI chatbot Claude previously gained support for voice mode back in May 2025.
