Key Highlights:

• Hands-Free Operation: Users no longer need to rely on keyboard input and can ask questions or give commands directly via voice, enabling true “hands-free” operation.
• Variety of Voice Options: To enhance personalization, Claude’s voice mode offers five different voice options: Buttery, Airy, Mellow, Glassy, and Rounded, allowing users to choose according to their preference.
• Multifunctional Interaction: During voice conversations, users can reference files, photos, and even calendar information to support their queries.
• Workspace Connectivity (Paid Feature): Paid subscribers can also connect Claude to their Google Calendar and Gmail content via the Workspace connector, further expanding its application scenarios.
• Powered by Advanced AI: This voice mode is powered by the Claude Sonnet 4 model, ensuring a smooth and intelligent conversational experience.
• Open Beta Availability: Voice mode is currently available in open beta on the Claude mobile app. Free users can send approximately 20–30 voice messages per session.

In summary, Claude’s voice mode offers users a new way to interact with AI that more closely mirrors natural human conversation, signaling more possibilities for future human-computer interaction.
