Feature request

Please add a speaker / read-aloud (text-to-speech) button to the Dispatch interface (the Cowork / Claude Code Dispatch tab) so users can hear Claude's messages spoken aloud.

Use case / motivation

This is an accessibility and UX improvement, especially valuable on mobile. Being able to tap a speaker button and have Claude's response read aloud would help:

  • Users who are on the go or away from the screen (hands-free / eyes-free listening on mobile)
  • Users with visual impairments or reading difficulties
  • Anyone who simply prefers to listen to longer responses rather than read them

Suggested behavior

  • A speaker / read-aloud button on Claude's messages in the Dispatch tab
  • Tapping it reads the message content aloud via text-to-speech
  • Ideally a way to pause/stop playback

Thanks for considering this!
