Claude's voice mode expands to Russian and more
Anthropic is prepping a major voice mode update for the mobile app. Code hints at support for 18 new languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, German, and Chinese. Each language will get one or two voice options.
Users will be able to switch languages mid-conversation by simply asking Claude to do so. The interface is getting a new glow animation around the voice sphere and a push-to-talk button.
Under the hood, the mode remains a text-to-speech system rather than a true voice model. Anthropic continues to leverage third-party tech, including ElevenLabs. The update helps close the gap with ChatGPT and Gemini, which have long supported multilingual voice input.
