Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by identifying the prompt-input path in CopilotForXcode. Before implementation, clarify the supported voice/model behavior and define acceptance criteria for direct voice input, since the issue does not establish what done means.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Using voice prompts has become popular recently. The reason is that some believe speaking directly, rather than typing, preserves more of the user’s tone, which large language models can pick up on. This helps reduce misunderstandings that often occur with plain text input, resulting in more accurate expression of intent.

Is it possible to add this feature to Copilot? Please note, I’m referring to direct voice input that is interpreted by the model—including tone and inflection—not simply converting speech to text and then processing it, as that would be no different from entering text directly.
