Anthropic is bringing Voice Mode to Claude Code, the company’s AI coding assistant for developers. The launch of voice mode marks a significant step toward more hands-free, conversational coding workflows.

Thariq Shihipar, an engineer at Anthropic, announced the feature’s gradual release on X on Tuesday. According to Shihipar, voice mode is now live for about 5% of users, with a broader rollout planned in the coming weeks.

Voice mode is designed to streamline the coding experience by letting users interact with Claude Code through spoken commands. To enable it, type /voice to toggle it on, then speak your command and Claude Code will execute the request. For instance, “refactor the authentication middleware.”
