I just tried it out and I have to say I am blown away. I've never been someone who likes the voice capabilities (tried Siri once or twice, hated it) for just about any service as I can type pretty quickly but this is intelligent enough that I can have an unstructured conversation and still get to the results I want quickly. Very impressive.

I feel blown away and creeped out at the same time. It sounds so natural that's it's creepy. Only question I have now is that is audio being streamed or generated on device.

I'm almost sure its streamed

I wonder why they launched it today, when it was supposed to be a week-off for all OAI employees and amidst whatever else is going on?

One possibility is to capture Thanksgiving gatherings as a growth hack where people demo this to their families/friends and increase app downloads for OAI.

Announced by the OpenAI account, and retweeted by Brockman https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1727065166188274145

Yes, let's keep our implosion drama separate from our product announcements shall we?

Changed from https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1727067288740970877 above, plus I degregged the title. I'm sure he won't mind. (submitted title was "ChatGPT Voice for All Free Users Announced (By Greg Brockman)")

Thanks!

It is streamed. They also offer this as an API for developers [0].

I just wish they'd offer more languages as it currently is English only. It can speak German and Spanish, but with a very clear English accent, which makes it kind of funny and makes one think about why the accent sounds so real.

Is there a way to paste text into the mobile app and get the voice to read it? I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. There's no text input shown while in the voice feature despite ChatGPT telling me to "just type what you want me to read"

I'm not sure if there's a better way but I've typed out requests via text, and as part of the request I type "read the results to me when I ask for them" or something along those lines. Then I turn on the voice mode and make the request.

The Brazilian Portuguese accent was hilarious when I tried it a month ago. We thought it was some kind of joke we didn't understand.
