What's Wrong?
When I activate /voice mode and speak in English it works great. But if I speak in Spanish it says no speech detected. I used Claude Code to debug it and it says it should work because the speech recognition service is cloude-based and not related to the machine locale? (btw, I'm using Ubuntu 24 and yes, my locale is en_US).
What Should Happen?
Claude should detect voice in Spanish.
