[DOCS] /voice command missing from built-in commands reference and interactive-mode docs

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands

Section/Topic

Built-in commands table and the Interactive mode page

Current Documentation

The built-in commands table at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands does not contain a /voice entry. The interactive-mode page likewise has no mention of voice input or the /voice command. The settings.md page documents a language setting but does not mention its relationship to voice input.

The only documentation that exists for /voice is in the changelog entries, e.g.:

"Fixed /voice not working on Windows when installed via npm" "Improved /voice to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your language setting isn't supported for voice input"

What's Wrong or Missing?

A. /voice absent from commands.md

The built-in commands reference at commands.md lists every slash command alphabetically but /voice does not appear. Users who type /voice in a session have no documentation to reference for what it does, what arguments it accepts, or what requirements apply (e.g., platform support, microphone permissions).

B. No voice mode documentation in interactive-mode.md

The interactive mode page is the logical home for voice input documentation alongside keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+B (background tasks). There is no section or mention of voice mode, how to enable it, how to disable it, or the keyboard shortcut for toggling it.

C. language setting's voice relationship undocumented

The language setting in settings.md is described as "Configure Claude's preferred response language" with no mention that it also governs voice input and that unsupported language values will produce a warning when /voice is enabled.

Suggested Improvement

A. Add /voice to the commands table in commands.md

Add a row to the built-in commands table:

/voice [on|off] — Enable or disable voice input mode. Shows the active dictation language on enable and warns if your language setting is not supported for voice input. Not available on all platforms.

B. Add a "Voice input" section to interactive-mode.md

Add a subsection under a relevant heading, for example after the keyboard shortcuts table:

Voice input Run /voice to enable voice dictation. Claude Code uses your system microphone and displays your dictation language on activation. If your language setting is not supported for voice, a warning appears. Run /voice off or /voice again to disable.

C. Add a note to the language setting in settings.md

After the language description, add:

Note: the language setting also controls the voice input language when using /voice. If the configured language is not supported for voice input, Claude Code displays a warning when voice is enabled.

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature
