Claude Voice Mode Expands to Opus, Sonnet + Connected Tool Actions
WHAT CHANGED
Claude voice mode now runs on Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models. Voice can now reach connected tools like Gmail and Slack, and supports significantly more languages. Available across mobile, desktop, and web. Users can switch models mid-conversation.
WHY IT MATTERS
Voice mode moves from novelty to a real workflow layer. Anthropic explicitly positioned it for: practicing pitch meetings, deciding between offers, reviewing your own process out loud, brainstorming. Combined with connected tool actions, this is Claude Cowork extending into voice-first work.
HOW TO USE IT
Open Claude on mobile, desktop, or web. Toggle voice mode. Select model in-conversation. Ensure Gmail/Slack connectors are enabled in Settings → Integrations.
