Voice control for Xcode 26 is indeed available and has been improved to enhance accessibility. Xcode 26 now allows you to dictate Swift code and navigate through the interface entirely by voice. This feature is designed to make Xcode more accessible for users with limited use of the keyboard. You can pronounce Swift code naturally, and Voice Control understands Swift syntax, including where spaces should appear and how expressions should be formatted. This improvement is highlighted in the Platforms State of the Union and the What’s new in Xcode sessions. If you're experiencing issues with voice control, it might be due to a configuration or setup problem rather than the feature being unavailable.
