OpenAI has introduced voice chats for ChatGPT on Android and iOS giving users the option to have conversations with the chatbot for free.
However, the service was initially limited to Plus and Enterprise subscribers by the corporation, with the understanding that other user categories would ultimately be allowed to access it.
President of OpenAI, Greg Brockman recently revealed on X that voice chats on ChatGPT are now available to all mobile free users.
The company acknowledged that there are new hazards associated with being able to produce “realistic synthetic voices from just a few seconds of real speech” when it initially debuted voice chats.
Consequently, was determined that the speech feature of ChatGPT will concentrate on dialogues. Text-to-speech technology powers it, producing “human-like audio from just text and a few seconds of sample speech.”
Five distinct voices are available for selection, and OpenAI collaborated with voice actors to develop the capacity.
Brockman, having already vacated his position as President of OpenAI, announced the capability’s general release. After the company’s board dismissed Sam Altman as CEO, leading to chaos and the resignation of senior staff members in protest and threats of resignation from the remaining staff members if he wasn’t reinstated, he resigned of his own volition. OpenAI declared shortly after he made the statement that Altman and Brockman had been restored to their positions.
