Voice for Claude Code

wispa turns Claude Code into a hands-free conversation. On top of normal dictation, it adds a voice loop: whenever Claude Code pauses to ask you something in the terminal, you answer by voice instead of typing.

How the voice loop works with Claude Code

Claude Code runs a Stop hook at the end of every turn. wispa installs that hook, so the moment Claude Code finishes and waits for you, it hands its last message to wispa. A small prompt appears, you speak your reply, and wispa sends the text straight back to Claude Code as your next message, so the session keeps going without your hands leaving the keyboard.

Set it up

1. Open wispa's Integrations, pick Claude Code, and click install. wispa writes the Stop hook into $HOME/.claude/settings.json and keeps a backup of the old file.
2. Start Claude Code in your terminal the way you normally would.
3. When Claude Code asks a question and waits, hold your wispa hotkey and speak your answer.
4. wispa transcribes it and Claude Code continues with your reply. Repeat for as long as the session runs.

Terminal or editor?

The voice loop is for Claude Code in the terminal, which is where it runs, and wispa drives that back-and-forth. Everywhere else, including your editor and its chat box, normal push-to-talk dictation still works, so you can dictate prompts by voice there too.

What wispa does in the background

wispa runs a small listener on your own machine at 127.0.0.1, protected by a private token, and no web page can reach it. The hook only sends Claude Code's last message and working folder. wispa shows the prompt, records your answer, and transcribes it with the model your voice loop is set to, with no AI cleanup or word replacement on that reply. Your words are handed to Claude Code framed as user input, so the agent treats them as your instruction and nothing in its own output can hijack the loop.
