Whisper Mic for Claude

Typing long prompts or rambling thoughts into a chat box is often the slowest part of working with an AI assistant. Whisper Mic removes that bottleneck by putting a dictation control directly in the Claude.ai composer: click the mic, speak naturally, click again to stop, and the transcription is inserted into your message.

The extension relies on the Groq Whisper API for transcription, which is why it stays fast and accurate without hosting anything itself. You bring your own free Groq API key, which is stored locally in your browser, and audio is sent directly to Groq rather than passing through a server the developer runs. That design keeps the privacy story straightforward and the extension extremely small.

Typical users are people who think faster than they type — writers drafting by voice, developers describing a bug out loud, students capturing lecture notes, or anyone with a repetitive strain injury who needs to reduce keyboard use. It is a focused utility rather than a full voice assistant: there is no wake word and no continuous conversation mode.
