Unfortunately, it simply wasn\u2019t practical to write prompts and read answers on the job. Thus, they whipped up Walkie Claudie, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ahn4jang27\/walkie-claudie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">so they could use their voice instead.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The concept is simple enough, it\u2019s an interface that lets you talk to Claude using speech recognition, and lets Claude talk back to you with a text-to-speech engine. It runs on a smartphone, with a direct network connection to the PC running Claude, though you can use a VPN if you\u2019re distantly located. [Bookmari] has a push-to-talk setup so that pushing a button on their Bluetooth earbuds lets them talk directly to Claude. There\u2019s also a special mode to keep the channel active during long pauses if you need a while to collect thoughts and vocalize them. Just for fun, the interface is styled like an old-school walkie LCD, and there\u2019s fun little details like synthesized squelch and channel-switch noises and so on.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a way to stay hooked up to your AI assistant at all times, this could prove useful to you.
