Anthropic has rolled out an upgrade to Claude’s voice mode, expanding model choice for paying users beyond the previously limited setup. Paid subscribers can now choose between Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, and they can switch models during a conversation or move back to text input at any time. By default, Claude will use the model selected in the user’s last text chat and run the fastest version within that model family.
The updated voice mode also connects with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Slack. Users can ask Claude to check email, revise schedules, or draft replies, though the system will still request authorization before taking action. Anthropic has opened testing for the new version across mobile, desktop, and web. Free users remain limited to Haiku and one connector tool. Voice mode now supports multiple languages including English, Japanese, and Korean, but not Chinese. Anthropic said the main upgrade is centered on reasoning and tool use, while the underlying voice model has not changed, meaning speech naturalness and interruption handling may not shift in a major way.
Anthropic has upgraded Claude’s voice mode, giving paid users more model options than before. They can now choose from Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, rather than being limited to Haiku, which is faster but less capable.
Users can switch models during a conversation and move back to text at any point. Claude will, by default, carry over the model selected in the user’s previous text chat and use the fastest version in that model family.
Voice mode adds access to external tools
The updated feature can also connect with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Slack. Users can ask Claude to check emails, adjust schedules, or draft replies. Authorization is still required before any action is carried out.
Testing is live across mobile, desktop and web
The new version is now available for testing on mobile, desktop, and web. Free users can only use Haiku and one connector tool.
Voice mode currently supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Korean, but not Chinese.
Reasoning and tool use are the main changes
Anthropic said this update mainly improves model reasoning and tool-calling capabilities. The company did not replace the underlying voice model, so speech naturalness and interruption handling may not show obvious changes.
