OpenAI announced the voice feature for ChatGPT in September last year for Plus and Enterprise users. Then, a few months later, the company released this feature for all free users. Now, OpenAI has announced that it is rolling out an advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. According to the company, this new mode offers more natural, real-time conversations.
In an X post, OpenAI announced, “We’re starting to roll out advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. Advanced Voice Mode offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.”

Users in the alpha will receive an email with instructions and a message in their mobile app. The company plans to add more people on a rolling basis and expects all Plus users to have access in the fall.
OpenAI has tested GPT-4o’s voice capabilities with over 100 external red teamers across 45 languages. To protect people’s privacy, the company has trained the model to only speak in the four preset voices, and also built systems to block outputs that differ from those voices. OpenAI has also implemented guardrails to block requests for violent or copyrighted content.

“Learnings from this alpha will help us make the Advanced Voice experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. We plan to share a detailed report on GPT-4o’s capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations in early August,” the company said.
In my opinion, the voice feature in ChatGPT offers several benefits to users. It allows users with disabilities or those who prefer spoken communication to engage more comfortably with the AI chatbot. Voice communication can be faster than typing, enabling users to get quick responses or information without the need to type out lengthy messages.
