HamVoice is the first hands-free voice-control platform for amateur-radio transceivers. Speak naturally — change frequency, mode, band, filter width, memory channel, split, RIT, and more — without touching the rig.
Real operator-to-rig session captured from a live IC-705 today. No buttons pressed. Lower latency than the operator's hand.
Operator-natural phrasing. No wake-word forced. No fixed grammar. The system understands the language an operator actually uses on the air.
"Tune to fourteen two five zero" · "Go to seven point one nine five" · "Step up five kilohertz" · "Jump to forty meters"
"Switch to USB" · "Lower side band" · "CW with five hundred hertz filter" · "FM repeater" · "Data USB"
"Power five watts" · "Full power" · "Tune the antenna" · "Match the tuner"
"VFO A" · "Swap VFOs" · "Split up two kilohertz" · "RIT plus five hundred" · "Clear RIT"
"Memory channel seven" · "Save this as Field Day net" · "QSY to twenty meters" · "Six meter calling frequency"
"Local two meter repeater" · "Minus offset six hundred" · "Tone one hundred point zero" · "DMR talkgroup three one zero zero"
"Log this contact, call sign Whiskey One A B C, signal five nine" · "Mark this QSO for QSL" · "Add note: Field Day station"
"FT8 calling frequency" · "Switch to PSK31" · "Start WSJT-X" · "D-STAR reflector"
"What's my SWR?" · "Battery level" · "Current frequency" · "GPS grid square"
First-light vendor: ICOM, over the CI-V CAT protocol. Multi-vendor by design — every major commercial CAT protocol is a connector. ICOM, Yaesu, Kenwood, Elecraft, FlexRadio, and TenTec families are on the roadmap.
HF + 50/144/430 MHz, 10W, BT/Wi-Fi/USB-C, GPS, D-STAR. CI-V over BT, USB-C, or Wi-Fi. Full voice control validated 2026-05-28.
HF + 50 MHz, 100W. Voice control validated over the mkII's built-in Ethernet/LAN interface — full remote-shack operation. The same code path will land USB-OTG CI-V for the legacy IC-7300 in the bring-up cohort.
Wideband HT receiver (IC-R30) with voice tuning over Bluetooth. BTech GMRS-PRO programming via reverse-engineered BLE+RFCOMM+GAIA. Repeater discovery (myGMRS.com API) + route planner + CSV export.
IC-9700 · IC-7610 · IC-7100 · IC-R8600 · legacy IC-7300 (USB-OTG CI-V). Shared CI-V command set; expected first-class in weeks.
FT-991A · FT-710 · FT-DX10 · FT-DX101D/MP · FTM/FTX mobile family.
TS-590SG · TS-890S · TS-990S · TS-2000 · TM-V71A.
K3/K3S/K4 · KX2/KX3 · FlexRadio 6000/8000 series via SmartSDR · TenTec Omni VII.
RemoteHams · RigPi · Hamlib rigctld · HF over the internet for portable / mobility-impaired operators.
Hams have always been a community of inclusion. HamVoice was designed from the start to give vision-impaired, mobility-impaired, and ADA-protected operators full station control by voice alone. No touch screen. No knobs. No memorized button sequences.
Every command exposes a verbal read-back. Status — frequency, mode, SWR, battery, GPS grid — is speakable on demand. The HamVoice operator never needs to look at the radio.
The OS-agnostic mobile app (Android, iOS, Android Automotive, CarPlay) lets you change band sitting in a car, climbing a mountain, or pedaling a bicycle. Distracted-driving safe by design.
The voice grammar understands worldwide band-plan vocabulary: ITU Regions 1, 2, and 3. Metric and imperial units. Frequency in MHz or kHz. Operator-natural call-sign phonetics.
English at launch. German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and French planned next. Phonetic alphabets handled in any language a licensed operator already uses on the air.
