OpenAI has announced the release of the Advanced Voice feature to ChatGPT, allowing users to have more natural spoken-language conversations with the chatbot. This exciting update brings us closer to a sci-fi reality.
Advanced Voice isn’t just “ChatGPT with text-to-speech.” It uses its underlying GPT-4o technology to analyze the tone and speed of your voice and pick up on non-verbal cues like body language, then itself responds with emotion in its own voice. This feature makes ChatGPT feel more alive than ever.
The Advanced Voice feature includes:
Advanced Voice is currently rolling out to all paid subscribers on ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Team plans, excluding users in certain regions. The feature is only available when using the ChatGPT app on iPhones and Android devices, and only in app versions 1.2024.261 and later. Paid subscribers will receive an app notification when the feature rolls out to them.
Advanced Voice makes conversations feel more natural, as OpenAI’s Greg Brockman noted. The feature is a significant step forward in making chatbots feel more human-like.
