I Made Claude Code Manage Codex | Project Destroy Tedium 26 · Luucidity · Radar

The Voice Assistant Frustration0:56 – 3:22

0:56

I struggled for like a good five to ten minutes with Codex trying to figure out the voice thingy that I created a while back where it reads out the replies that it sends me because sometimes, you know, I'm working with two projects while one is going and Claude is doing its thing, I'm typing something else and then once it's done, it reads the reply out loud so I know that it's done and I don't even have to look at it.

1:25

I can just listen, like stop what I'm doing and just listen a little bit and then basically tell it what to do next.

1:31

What I wanted to try was adding a second voice to Codex and making both of them have two distinct voices so I know which is which essentially.

1:40

And what ended up happening was as I was trying these other voices, they sounded like those meme voices that people put on TikTok and whatnot.

1:49

Just the really really low quality, low resolution voices that people use as jokes and to make fun of things.

1:58

And it's kind of funny at first, but I was like, what is happening? Like, I'm asking if it has different voices it can use, and then it switches to these ones.

2:07

And I'm like, okay, are there any better ones, you know? Are there any...

2:10

ones that actually sound like the normal default one that sounds solid.

2:13

And then it just kept playing really, really bad voices for like a good five minutes.

2:20

I struggled to figure it out exactly, but I found that it was an accessibility in macOS and I could just listen to them.

2:27

And there were some enhanced ones and some better ones for sure, but for whatever reason, Codex just couldn't help me connect to them.

2:34

So, and it didn't know why it didn't know like what was going on.

2:39

You know, it, it just kept telling me, I don't know.

2:41

I don't know.

2:42

I don't know.

2:43

Which is fine, but it's like, it doesn't offer any suggestions.

2:47

It doesn't offer any like things that I could try.

2:50

It kind of just felt like dumb.

2:52

It felt extremely dumb.

2:53

And I've been having this experience with it for the past week or so where every time I go to use it, I feel like I'd rather just use Cod to accomplish what I want.

3:05

I think normal ChachiBT though, I still like normal ChachiBT.

3:09

Like whenever, I right now have a routine where in the morning it just gives me some Japanese practice.

3:14

And I feel like I enjoy that from ChachiBT, but Codex, for whatever reason, it's just, it's not doing it.

3:21

It just feels weird.
