Claude’s voice mode is now available for Opus and Sonnet

Anthropic has expanded its voice mode feature (the ability to speak to an AI instead of typing) to include its more powerful Claude Opus and Sonnet models, moving beyond the previous limitation to the faster but less capable Haiku model. The company is also integrating voice mode into popular productivity apps like Gmail, Slack, and Canva. Users had begun adopting voice mode for complex business problems rather than just quick questions, revealing that Haiku's design for fast responses wasn't sufficient for more demanding tasks.
