Claude Code shipped native voice mode on March 3, 2026, enabling push-to-talk coding where developers speak instructions instead of typing prompts. The feature supports 20 languages (10 new in March) and claims a 3.7× faster workflow by leveraging natural speech rates of 150 words per minute versus typing at 40-80 WPM. Activated via /voice command, it's rolling out gradually. Wispr Flow provides the underlying speech-to-text engine with technical vocabulary awareness for terms like 'async/await,' 'React hook,' and 'SQL join.'
