VoiceMode enables natural voice conversations with Claude Code. Voice isn't about replacing typing - it's about being available when typing isn't.

**Perfect for:**

  • Walking to your next meeting
  • Cooking while debugging
  • Giving your eyes a break after hours of screen time
  • Holding a coffee (or a dog)
  • Any moment when your hands or eyes are busy

## Install dependencies (CLI, Local Voice Services)
