Voice dictation fails to transcribe in v2.1.83 (regression from v2.1.81)
GitHub, anthropics/claude-code issue tracker, 2026
Read the originalRead on October 17, 2026
- What it is
- A user report, opened on 25 March 2026, that Claude Code voice dictation activated but never transcribed in version 2.1.83, and that rolling back to 2.1.81 resolved it for that user. The issue was closed as a duplicate of other reports of the same regression.
- How much weight it carries
- A single user's account in a public bug tracker, not an official statement. It shows the failure pattern and what one user did, but it does not prove the cause for your install, and it was closed as a duplicate rather than traced to a fix in this text.
Facts taken from this source
- A GitHub report from March 2026 says voice dictation in Claude Code version 2.1.83 activated but never transcribed, and that rolling back to 2.1.81 fixed it for that user.
