Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI, announced the rollout of Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT web users who are subscribed to the Plus, Enterprise, Teams, or Edu plans. This feature, which allows users to interact with ChatGPT using voice commands rather than typing, was initially launched in the iOS and Android applications in September. It was subsequently introduced to desktop applications. Now, web users with the appropriate subscription can also access this functionality.
Advanced Voice Mode is designed to enhance the user experience by enabling verbal interactions with ChatGPT directly through a web browser. This feature is particularly useful for users who prefer speaking over typing, allowing for the exchange of ideas and rapid inquiry responses. The voice mode can also be used as a translation tool, facilitating conversations in different languages, as demonstrated by Weil during his recent travels to Seoul and Tokyo.
The introduction of Advanced Voice Mode on web platforms aims to provide users with a versatile communication tool that can be utilized in various scenarios. Subscribers to the Plus, Enterprise, Teams, and Edu plans can now leverage this feature for both personal and professional purposes. The feature’s release to the broader user base, including those on free plans, is anticipated in the near future.
OpenAI’s expansion of voice interaction capabilities marks a step toward offering more diverse and accessible communication methods within the ChatGPT platform. This development aligns with the needs of users who require efficient, hands-free communication solutions. Subscribers are encouraged to explore this new feature and provide feedback on their experiences.
