Anthropic’s Claude began rolling out a “voice mode” (currently in beta) for its Claude chatbot apps last week.

This feature enables users to engage in and maintain complete spoken conversations with Claude, according to the AI startup.

Additionally, Anthropic’s voice mode enables users to discuss topics such as documents and images and select from five distinct voice options. Users can also switch between text and voice on the fly and view a transcript and summary of conversations.

The capability comes with limits for free users, including a 20-30 conversation limit.

Only paid Claude subscribers can use a Google Workspace connector that allows voice mode to access Google Calendar appointments and Gmail emails.

Google Docs integration is exclusive to Claude Enterprise plans.

OpenAI, Google’s Gemini Live, and xAI’s Grok already offer a similar voice feature, allowing users to interact with bots by speaking instead of typing.
