Problem / use case
I run a field-service CRM project (HVAC dispatcher, 903+ clients, 2 crews). I spend a lot of my working time away from my desk — driving between sites, walking around, hands full. My laptop stays at home and I connect to Claude Code via Remote Desktop from my iPhone, wearing AirPods.
Right now the workflow on the phone is painful:
- I have to tap the mic on the iOS keyboard to dictate
- Then tap the send button
- Then read Claude's response by hand — or swipe twice with two fingers to trigger iOS "Speak Screen"
- Then tap mic again
- ...repeat
What I actually want is a continuous voice-to-voice conversation — the same experience ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode / "JARVIS" gives you. I talk, pause, Claude Code hears me, reasons, answers out loud, I can interrupt, I answer back, no taps in between.
The closest thing today is the Claude mobile app Voice Mode, but that app doesn't see my project files / git / codebase — so it can't actually help me ship features. Claude Code can ship features but has no voice layer at all.
Proposed feature
A built-in Voice Mode in Claude Code:
- Toggleable per session:
/voice on or a dedicated hotkey
- Uses a realtime STT → model → TTS pipeline (Anthropic-hosted, ideally using Claude with native audio I/O if/when available)
- Continuous listening with barge-in (interrupt the assistant mid-sentence)
- Streams Claude's response to TTS so the user hears it as it's generated, not after
- For tool calls and long file operations, speaks a short status ("reading calendar-settings.ts, running typecheck…") so the user knows work is happening
- Keeps the full text transcript visible in the terminal / web UI exactly as today — voice is additive, not replacing
- Works in the web session too (
claude.ai/code/session_…) so remote-desktop / mobile use-cases work
Why this is specifically valuable in Claude Code (not just chat)
Developers and small-business operators like me aren't only coding. We're reasoning about real work while in motion — triage, planning, reviewing what an agent did, deciding what to build next. Today I have to choose: tap-typing a complex instruction on a phone screen, or losing the project context by switching to the Claude chat app. A voice layer closes that gap.
Languages
Please make sure non-English locales are first-class — in my case Russian. Both STT and TTS should respect system locale / a --voice-lang flag.
Not what I'm asking for
- Not "transcribe my dictation and paste it" — that exists everywhere
- Not "read the last message aloud on command" — iOS Speak Screen already does that
- What's missing is the continuous loop with barge-in
Alternatives considered
- iOS Shortcuts → Claude Code CLI over SSH: fragile, can't barge in, no streaming
- Custom pipeline with Whisper + Anthropic API + ElevenLabs: doable but out of scope for 99% of users, and loses the Claude Code tooling (git, file ops, hooks)
- ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode: great voice UX, no access to my project / files / codebase
Would love to see this land. Happy to beta-test on Russian + a real CRM codebase.
Thanks!
