The new feature ships with five different voice options, allowing users to select the one they want based on preference. Read Aloud is available across the web and mobile app versions of ChatGPT.
Read Aloud allows ChatGPT to auto-detect the language of the text it’s reading. Interestingly, the feature can read out responses in 37 languages. According to a spot byThe Verge, it is available in GPT-4 and GPT-3.5.
The feature lets you play, pause, or rewind the readout at your convenience. This makes it easier for users to refer to a previous segment for further clarification or a missed point.
The feature complements the already existingvoice chat feature in ChatGPT, which lets you interact with the chatbot directly without tying your prompts in the chat interface. It’s worth noting that the voice chat feature is tucked away behindOpenAI’s $20 ChatGPT Plus subscription.
