**Claude Code talks like an RPG character.**

Replies type out letter by letter, with a blip for every letter.

**Make Blip yours: every voice can be one the community made.**

In Claude Code:

```
/plugin install blip --marketplace DoubleV840/blip
```

Then ask Claude anything, and listen.

To get new versions on their own: `/plugin` → **Marketplaces** → **blip** → **Enable auto-update**. Or update by hand with `claude plugin update blip@blip`.

Anyone can give Blip a new voice, and everyone can use it.

| 🎧 **Listen** | Every voice plays on **[blip.ivwi.fr](https://blip.ivwi.fr)** , with search and themes. | 
| ⬇️ **Install** | `/blip voice <name>` in Claude Code, or pick one in the`/blip voice` menu. | 
| 🎤 **Share yours** | One short sound you made ( `.wav` ,`.mp3` ,`.m4a` …), zipped, in[the form](https://github.com/DoubleV840/blip-voices/issues/new?template=submit-voice.yml) , or type`/blip share` . Checked automatically, live within minutes. | 
| 🚩 **Report** | `/blip report <name>` : three reports remove a voice, everywhere. | 

| Command |  | 
|---|---|
| `/blip voice` | Pick a voice, ↑↓ to listen | 
| `/blip speed slow · normal · fast` | Text speed | 
| `/blip volume 0-100` | Volume | 
| `/blip pitch -12..12` | Higher or lower voice | 
| `/blip on · off` | Sound on or off | 
| `/blip typewriter on · off` | Letter by letter, or Claude Code's usual display | 
| `/blip custom <file.wav>` | Your own sound, just for you | 
| `/blip share` | Share your sound with everyone | 
| `/blip report <name>` | Report a community voice | 
| `/blip test` | Demo | 
| `/blip help` | Everything else | 

Tab completes everything after `/blip`: options, voices, speeds. Send a message to skip the rest of a reply, like in a game.

`soft` (default) · `classic` · `nes` · `bubble` · `typewriter` · `robot` · `deep` · `chirp` · `critter`

Plus every [community voice](#community-voices).

## **How it works**

- Claude's reply is held while it is written, then typed out above the prompt at 30 frames a second, and settles into the conversation once whole.
- All the blips of a reply are mixed into one sound before it starts: each on its letter, never overlapping, slightly detuned.
- Commas and sentence ends pause, spaces stay silent, questions rise.
- Commands run locally: no model call, no tokens. Only community voices use the network, to download them.
- Voices are synthesized from scratch by [`tools/make_sounds.py`](https://github.com/DoubleV840/blip/blob/main/tools/make_sounds.py) .

## **Requirements**

- A recent Claude Code (tested on 2.1.322). Its plugin API is in early access and may change.
- macOS, Linux with `pw-play` ,`paplay` or`aplay` , or Windows through PowerShell (new:[tell us](https://github.com/DoubleV840/blip/issues) how it sounds).
- In the desktop app: **+** →**Plugins** →**Add marketplace**`DoubleV840/blip` →** Add plugin** .

## **Add a built-in voice (contributors)**

For your own sound, `/blip custom` is enough, and `/blip share` puts it on the community site. Built-in voices are synthesized by a script:

1. Add a voice to `VOICES` in[`tools/make_sounds.py`](https://github.com/DoubleV840/blip/blob/main/tools/make_sounds.py) .
2. Run `python3 tools/make_sounds.py` .
3. Test with `claude plugin test .` , try it with`claude --plugin-dir .` , and open a pull request.
