voicemode | Natural voice conversations with Claude Code

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
No microphone access	Check terminal/app permissions. WSL2 needs pulseaudio packages.
UV not found	Run `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh \| sh`
OpenAI API error	Verify `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set correctly
No audio output	Check system audio settings and available devices

export VOICEMODE_SAVE_AUDIO=true
# Files saved to ~/.voicemode/audio/YYYY/MM/

Configuration

VoiceMode works out of the box. For customization:

# Set OpenAI API key (if using cloud services)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"

# Or configure via file
voicemode config edit

See the Configuration Guide for all options.

Requirements: Computer with microphone and speakers
