Claude Code Voice Configuration

This config includes a directory-based voice system for Claude Code that uses macOS text-to-speech.

Voice Commands

• /voice-on - Enable text-to-speech for current directory
• /voice-off - Disable text-to-speech for current directory

Selecting and Downloading High Quality System Voices

For the best text-to-speech experience, download high-quality system voices:

1. Open System Preferences → Accessibility → Spoken Content
2. Click "System Voice" dropdown → Customize...
3. Download premium voices (these are much higher quality than default):
   • English: Alex (Enhanced), Samantha (Enhanced), Victoria (Enhanced)
   • Other languages: Download enhanced versions as needed
4. Select your preferred voice in the System Voice dropdown

Note: Enhanced voices are 100-200MB each but provide significantly better speech quality than compact voices.

Voice Database

Voice settings are stored per-directory in ~/.claude/voice-db.json and automatically created by the scripts.
