OpenAI has made its ChatGPT voice feature available to all users. Initially launched for paid users, the feature is now accessible to free users as well. The voice feature, powered by a new text-to-speech model, is claimed by OpenAI to generate human-like audio from just text and a few seconds of speech samples. The feature offers five different voices, which are said to sound more human than other AI-enabled voice assistants.

The voice feature allows users to interact and receive responses using a voice assistant instead of text. It also auto-detects the input language, however, users can specify a preferred language in the settings menu for more accurate detection. The update has been pushed to Android and iOS versions of the app.

However, the free version of ChatGPT cannot access real-time information and is based on the GPT 3.5 model, which has limitations compared to the more recent GPT-4 Turbo. OpenAI has temporarily paused the ChatGPT Plus subscription service due to capacity issues.

The announcement of the voice feature comes amid ongoing drama over control of OpenAI. There have been reports of significant leadership turmoil at OpenAI, including the return of Sam Altman as CEO. Despite these internal challenges, OpenAI has continued to innovate, with ChatGPT Voice representing a notable upgrade to the user experience.
