> According to the report, Anthropic was holding talks with Amazon, the company’s major investor and partner, and voice-focused AI startup ElevenLabs, to possibly drive future voice features for Claude.

> It’s unclear which of those partnerships, if any, came to fruition.

Here's an easy way to confirm that: check Anthropic's "Trust Center" and review any recent updates. https://trust.anthropic.com/updates

Sure enough, on May 29th they have a subprocessor change:

> As of May 29th, 2025, we have added ElevenLabs, which supports text to speech functionality in Claude for Work mobile apps.

I wonder what they're using for speech-to-text?

1. Start and stop button. I love this explicit control over who is talking when.

2. Ability to upload files while the voice chat is going. Great idea. Often times I use gpt voice chat for studying, and it's annoying when I need to add another PDF to the context, since I need to stop the chat, upload, and then restart the voice session.

3. Real-time text display during voice chat. I asked you to take the derivative of a function I described, and it outlined its steps, but it wasn't just the transcription of what it was saying.

Things I hate:

1. The transcription is terrible. It took me 10 tries during the conversation to describe f(x) = x^2. Looking back on the transcriptions, it's literally nonsense.

2. There was a buggy moment when the voice conversation started but it was still demoing all the voice options simultaneously. Need some polishing.

I know it’s a massive challenge and might take years to get right but the endless copy and paste is wearing me down.
