OpenAI is rolling out its Advanced Voice feature to all Plus and Team users of the ChatGPT app, with several exciting updates designed to make your interactions more natural and customisable.

What’s New?

  • Five New Voices: You can now choose from five different voices to make your interactions more personalised. Whether you're giving commands or just having a conversation, the new voices add variety and a more human touch.

  • Custom Instructions: Tailor your voice interactions to your style. With Custom Instructions, you can set preferences for how you want the AI to respond, what kind of details to focus on, and more. This feature makes it easier than ever to fine-tune the way you communicate with AI.

  • Improved Accents & Conversational Speed: If you communicate in languages other than English, you’ll appreciate the improved accents and smoother conversations. Plus, the AI now adjusts its speed, making the interactions feel more natural and efficient.

  • Say it in 50+ Languages: Advanced Voice can say phrases like "Sorry I’m late" in over 50 languages, making it even more useful for global audiences.

While Advanced Voice is not yet available in the EU and a few other regions, users in most parts of the world can expect a notification in the app when it’s their turn to access this feature.
