Anthropic released a voice mode for its command-line coding assistant, Claude Code. This feature enables developers to write and interact with code using voice commands. Users activate the mode with the /voice command. The tool utilizes the spacebar for push-to-talk functionality.
Anthropic is introducing the feature through a phased rollout. The initial release targets approximately 5% of users. This move positions Anthropic to compete with Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot in the AI coding sector. The voice capabilities aim to enhance developer productivity and change how programmers interact with AI tools.
