Anthropic Gives Claude a Voice

claude

The Claude chatbot from Anthropic can now talk back in the mobile application. You get to choose from five different voices.

From now on, you can also have spoken conversations with Claude. Anthropic announces a “voice mode” for the chatbot’s mobile application. Through the voice mode, Claude can not only understand what you say to the chatbot but also talk back. According to Anthropic, this is useful “when your hands are busy, but your mind is not”.

The voice mode is available as a beta in the mobile applications for Android and iOS. To make Claude talk, tap the rightmost icon. You can then chat with Claude about trivial matters, as well as about files and images you share with the chatbot.

There are different voices for Claude that you can choose from. If you prefer written communication after hearing Claude’s voice, you can easily switch back to text.

Speak with Claude

A paid subscription is not required, but free accounts have limitations imposed. The limit is set at a maximum of twenty to thirty spoken chat messages per day. For paying subscribers, the limit is higher and they can also link Claude to Google Workspace applications.

By default, the voice mode is assigned to the new Claude 4 Sonnet model, but Anthropic offers the option to choose between models. An overview of your spoken conversations is saved in your chat history, just like written conversations.

Claude is not the first AI model to get a voice. ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Grok can also talk to you. With the mobile version of Gemini, for example, you can point out specific things on your screen and ask the AI assistant about them.
