In a post for the company on X (formerly known as Twitter), the company revealed the kind of functionality this mode would bring. In the teaser, we can see the Claude AI helping users schedule and fetching information from places like Gmail, Google Documents, and Google Calendar.

“This feature enables you to speak to Claude and hear responses through voice, making it easier to use Claude when your hands are busy but your mind isn't,” Anthropic said.

Alex Albert, the head of the company's Claude relations, said, "Early implementation of voice but something that I've already found very fun and useful.”

Anthropic says that voice mode can also display key points on-screen as Claude speaks, as well as switch between text and voice within the same conversation.

Claude joins Google Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT in launching a voice experience. ChatGPT has had a voice-based assistant for a while now, wherein you could converse with the chatbot and accomplish a wide range of use cases, right from asking it to teach you a particular language to asking it to pretend to be an interviewer.

The same goes for Google Gemini Live, which has gained more abilities over the past few months or so, including being able to see though the camera and give you responses based on what is on your screen.

Paid Vs Free: Feature Differences

For free users, Anthopic notes claims approximately 20-30 voice messages before reaching session limits. For paid users, this number is “significantly higher.”
