Hey -- we take accessibility seriously, and want Claude Code to work well for you. This is why we have repurposed verbose mode to do what you want, without the other verbose output. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Do you guys have a screen reader user on the dev team?

Is verbose mode the same as the old mode, where only file paths are spoken? Or does it have other text in it? Because I tried to articulate, and may have failed. More text is usually bad for me. It must be consumed linearly. I need specific text.

Quality over quantity

"Is verbose mode the same as the old mode, where only file paths are spoken?" -- yes, this is exactly what the new verbose mode is.

And how to get to the old verbose mode then...?

Hit ctrl+o

Wait so when the UI for Claude Code says “ctrl + o for verbose output” that isn’t verbose mode?
