Add option to auto-enable voice mode on session start
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 17, 2026 by markwadedotnet Closed Mar 17, 2026
I use voice mode in nearly every session. Currently, I have to run /voice manually each time I start a new session to enable it. There's also a UX quirk where the first /voice says "Voice mode disabled" and I have to run it a second time to get "Voice mode enabled" — suggesting some stale state is carried over but not properly initialized.
Request: Add a persistent setting (e.g. "voiceAutoEnable": true in settings.json) or a CLI flag (claude --voice) that automatically activates voice mode when a session starts.
Current behavior:
- Start new session
- Run
/voice→ "Voice mode disabled" - Run
/voiceagain → "Voice mode enabled"
Expected behavior:
Session starts with voice mode already enabled based on a user setting.
