[Feature request] Text-to-speech output
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Jun 17, 2025 by rbinnun Closed Dec 30, 2025
Description:
It would be helpful to have a text-to-speech option that reads Claude's responses
aloud. This would improve accessibility and allow users to listen to responses while
multitasking.
Proposed implementation:
- Add a --tts flag or setting to enable text-to-speech
- Integrate with system TTS (espeak on Linux, say on macOS, etc.)
- Option to automatically read responses or trigger on demand
Use case:
Currently there's no easy way to have Claude's responses read aloud without manually
copying text to external TTS tools, which interrupts the workflow.
Alternative considered:
Piping output to external TTS tools, but Claude Code's interactive nature makes this
difficult.
