It’s not just talking, it’s really competing in conversation with Chatgpt and Gemini

Anthropic has become one of the key names in the artificial intelligence career. So much so that Some see her as Apple’s great trick not to be left behind OpenAi or Google. However, his assistant Claude had a pending subject: the voice mode. A function that its main competitors had already integrated and that, finally, It also arrives at the Anthropic app. With this incorporation, Claude takes an important step to compete on equal terms.

Claude already speaks: This is how the new voice mode works. Claude’s new voice mode allows you to hold complete conversations spoken from the mobile app, available both in iOS and Android. It is not simply to issue commands: Claude now responds in voice, shows the key points on the screen while speaking and maintains the context of the conversation even if it skips between voice and text.

This function, which is only available in English, will be deployed in the coming weeks for all users, including those of the free version. Even so, payment plans offer more voice messages per session and access to advanced functions, such as integration with Google Calendar, Gmail or Google Docs (the latter exclusive for business users).

Among the controls included are options to interrupt Claude’s response, send spoken messages, or easily change between ways. In addition, you can choose different voices to customize the experience. All chats are saved, just like text conversations, and voice transcription is shown in a summary way.

Thought for occupied hands, fast ideas and spoken creativity. Anthropic highlights several scenarios to take advantage of this function: from organizing the day while having breakfast to maintain rain of ideas while walking or cooked. The voice mode seeks precisely that: eliminate the keyboard when the speed of thought brakes. It also allows you to practice interviews or record ideas on the march, something especially useful for creators or professionals who work in motion.

To guarantee a fluid experience, the company recommends using the system in environments with little noise and good connection. In addition, it has incorporated security limits: voices are predefined to avoid imitations and the model avoids reproducing literal text to minimize supplant risks.

Comparison with OpenAi was inevitable. The arrival of the voice mode to Claude occurs in a context where the bar is higher than ever. Openai has long presumed its advanced voice mode that reminds us of the movie ‘Her’. Other rival services have also opted for audio, such as Google with Gemini Live and Grok, XAIwith a dedicated voice mode in your mobile app.
