Walkie Claudie adds walkie-talkie voice control to Claude Code
The smartphone app sends speech to Claude over the network and answers with synthesized voice, with push-to-talk on Bluetooth earbuds.
A developer known as Bookmari has released Walkie Claudie, a smartphone app that acts as a walkie-talkie-style voice interface for Claude Code, according to Hackaday. The app turns a phone into a handset for talking to the AI coding tool instead of typing prompts at a keyboard.
Walkie Claudie uses speech recognition to capture the user's prompts and text-to-speech to read Claude's replies back. The phone connects directly over the network to the PC running Claude, and the app includes VPN support so it can be used remotely.
A push-to-talk button on Bluetooth earbuds lets the user speak to Claude without reaching for the phone. A separate mode keeps the channel open during long pauses, so a session is not cut off when the developer stops talking for a while.
The interface is styled after an old-school walkie-talkie, complete with an LCD-style display and synthesized squelch and channel-switch noises. Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding tool.
