Can I customize the voice used by Claude?

The skill uses the default macOS system voice. You can change this voice in your macOS System Settings under Accessibility > Spoken Content.

Does this skill work on Windows or Linux?

No, this skill is currently designed specifically for macOS as it relies on the native system 'say' command.

Are there any external dependencies?

Yes, you must have 'jq' installed on your system (usually via 'brew install jq') to parse Claude's response transcripts.

Does the speech synthesis require an internet connection?

No, the 'say' command on macOS performs text-to-speech synthesis locally on your machine.

How do I turn off the voice if I no longer want it?

You can disable speech at any time by running 'rm -f ~/.claude-speak' in your terminal.
