OpenAI has announced the start of rolling out advanced voice mode to ChatGPT users on paid plans.
This audio feature will initially be available to subscribers to the Plus plans for individuals and Teams for teams, while customers on the Enterprise and Edu plans will get it next week.
As part of this rollout, Advanced Voice Mode has received a new design, with ChatGPT now displaying a moving blue circle instead of the moving black dots in the interface while in use.
Users will see an in-app notification next to the audio icon when the feature becomes available to them.
ChatGPT has received 5 new voices that users can try out, bringing the total number of available voices to 9.
Advanced Voice Mode allows users to interact with ChatGPT in a natural way with quick voice responses, the ability to follow up on questions and inquiries, and interrupt ChatGPT while responding if necessary, just like in everyday human conversations.
OpenAI says it has made some improvements since the beta version of the Voice Mode feature was released, improving accent understanding with greater accuracy, improving the speed and smoothness of conversations, and fixing some technical bugs.
Additionally, OpenAI has expanded some of ChatGPT’s personalization features to include voice mode, such as custom prompts that allow users to customize how ChatGPT responds to them, and a memory feature that enables it to remember previous conversations for future use, giving users a more personalized user experience.
