In a recent tweet from his X account, Anthropic engineer Thariq Shihipar announced the phased rollout of a voice mode for Claude Code, the coding assistant which is increasingly popular among developers. Currently, the feature is available to about 5% of users.
Voice Command to Control Claude
After introducing a voice mode to its conversational agent Claude in May 2025, Anthropic is now expanding this capability to its development assistant, which also launched last spring. Since January, the user base of the development assistant has doubled, according to data shared by the company. As demonstrated in a brief preview shared on X, users can activate the feature by typing the command /voice into the interface, pressing the space bar, and then speaking the task aloud for Claude Code to execute.

At this point, any potential limits in terms of the volume of requests are not known. However, if Anthropic applies the same model as it does with its conversational agent, voice mode should not be treated differently from a textual request.
As reported by TechCrunch, the feature might have been developed in collaboration with ElevenLabs, a company specializing in AI-driven voice generation and cloning, which had been in discussions with Anthropic about a partnership last year. However, this speculation has not been confirmed to the American media outlet.
Gradual Deployment Over the Coming Weeks
Anthropic has not officially announced this release, but the advanced voice mode is currently accessible to about 5% of subscribers to the Pro, Max, or Enterprise plans, which grant access to the development assistant. The feature “will gradually be extended over the coming weeks,” Thariq Shihipar noted on X, adding that users will “see a note appear on the welcome screen” as soon as they have access.
