TL;DR Anthropic has started rolling out multilingual support for Claude Voice Mode, with users spotting new language options.

A new Push-to-talk mode is also appearing for some users, offering an alternative to the existing hands-free conversational experience.

The updated Voice settings show support for additional languages, with Spanish (Latin America) enabled in the example shared online. Users can also switch between two different ways of interacting with Claude. The first is a traditional hands-free mode that allows for a more natural back-and-forth conversation. The second is Push-to-talk, where you press and hold a button while speaking, then release it to send your message.
