    The big thing for me is the TTS, custom UI and persistent background mode! ie it switches turns automatically etc, no need to touch screen or keep screen on. The STT on Gboard is v…

    The biggest difference is that mine is audio-first - it reads everything out over Android tts by default, and runs a computer-side parakeet + Silero VAD server for transcription (M…

    This sucks. I use Claude -p over tailscale to code over voice when I’m on the go for accessibility reasons, and most of the time I do the same while at the computer. Running throug…

    Claude voice mode has come a long way! I'd say it's smarter than CGPT AVM last time i tried it. But personally I've settled on just speaking to the slower models over a custom tts …
