Description

@github-actions

Summary

GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.59 (released 2026-06-02) introduced the /voice command, which allows users to dictate prompts using local speech-to-text models. This is an entirely new input method not covered anywhere in the tutorial.

What changed

  • v1.0.59: Added the /voice command to dictate prompts using local speech-to-text models

Source: https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/releases/tag/v1.0.59

Tutorial sections that need updating

  • Lesson 3 (Context & Prompting) — Could mention /voice as an alternative input method alongside typed prompts
  • Lesson 14 (Session Management) — The command reference table should include /voice
  • Lesson 20 (Graduation) — The command cheat sheet / quick reference should include /voice

Suggested changes

  1. Add /voice to the slash command reference tables in relevant lessons
  2. Briefly mention voice input as an accessibility-friendly alternative for dictating longer or more natural prompts
  3. Note that it uses local speech-to-text models (no cloud transcription required)
