TTS readback of responses + voice mode for Remote Control sessions

Problem Statement

When using Claude Code remotely from a phone via Remote Control, there is no voice capability — all interaction requires
typing on a small screen. Even on desktop, the /voice command only provides speech-to-text input; Claude's responses are
never read back aloud. This makes hands-free or eyes-free coding workflows impossible. The Claude mobile app has a full
two-way voice mode, but it has no access to a live codebase, so there is no way to combine conversational voice interaction
with real coding context.

Proposed Solution

1. Add TTS readback of Claude's responses when /voice mode is active on desktop — after Claude finishes a response, it

should be read aloud automatically (with an option to interrupt or skip).

1. Expose voice input and TTS readback in the Remote Control web interface, so users connecting from a phone or tablet can

have the same experience.

Alternative Solutions

• Piping Claude Code output to an external TTS engine (say on macOS, espeak/piper on Linux) — possible but not integrated,

requires custom scripting, and breaks the native UX.

• Claude mobile voice mode + Project file uploads — has full two-way voice but no live codebase access; context goes stale

immediately.

• No satisfactory end-to-end solution exists today.

Use Case Example

1. I'm away from my desk and connect to my running Claude Code session via Remote Control on my phone.
2. I want to ask Claude to explain a module or walk through a bug.
3. With this feature, I could speak my question, hear the response read back, and have a back-and-forth conversation about

the code — completely hands-free.

1. This would make code review, exploration, and planning practical while away from a keyboard.

Additional Context

The Claude mobile app already demonstrates that two-way voice works well for general conversation. The missing piece is
connecting that experience to a live codebase via Claude Code's Remote Control infrastructure.
