ChatGPT Rolls Out Voice Mode

In a reply to a user question on the X platform, Open AI’s CEO, Sam Altman, said that the alpha rollout of ChatGPT’s long-awaited ‘Voice Mode’ starts for Plus subscribers next week. 

What Is Voice Mode? 

As the name of the feature suggests, ChatGPT’s ‘Voice Mode’ allows users to interact with the AI by simply using spoken language instead of typing. To do this, it uses advanced speech recognition technology which can convert spoken input into text, and it employs text-to-speech (TTS) technology to vocalise responses. Voice Mode should enhance accessibility for users who prefer verbal communication or have difficulty typing, thereby making it a convenient option. To use Voice Mode, a device with a microphone and speaker is required, and specific commands or settings may be needed to activate and customise the experience.
