When you’re done talking, you tap anywhere on the screen to indicate that you’re finished talking, and Claude replies a second or two later. If you are silent for several seconds, it goes ahead and replies without waiting for you to tap. When Claude is talking you can tap on the screen to interrupt; that is actually quite useful, as it can be a bit long-winded.
It’s not quite as natural a back-and-forth as with ChatGPT’s or Gemini’s voice mode on mobile, but maybe that’s for the best.
I tried a test later in which I gave it a research paper—Sakana AI’s latest—and asked it to explain it to me. When it used a term I didn’t understand, I just tapped on the screen and asked for an explanation. That worked quite well.
Thanks a lot. This sounds great for my envisioned use case which is having conversations while on a road trip to research ideas that pop into my head. Not having to tap the screen makes it much safer.
