The voice chat feature was launched for paid users in September and now the company has made it available for everyone.
The feature was announced by the company through its Twitter (X) account stating: “ChatGPT with voice is now available to all free users. Download the app on your phone and tap the headphones icon to start a conversation.”

What Is ChatGPT Voice Feature?
In a company blog post that was published in September, the feature was described as “You can now use voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with your assistant. Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story for your family, or settle a dinner table debate.”
This new feature allows users to interact with ChatGPT using their voice, providing a more natural and immersive experience.
OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition system is responsible for transcribing spoken words into text, enabling ChatGPT to understand and respond to voice commands and prompts. Additionally, the company has developed a new text-to-speech model that can generate human-like audio from just text and a few seconds of speech samples. This technology opens up a wide range of possibilities for creative and accessibility-focused applications.
How to Use ChatGPT Voice Feature?
The voice chat feature is currently only available on the ChatGPT app for Android and iOS devices. It is not yet available for the web version of ChatGPT.
Here is how to use the feature:
- Update the ChatGPT app: Ensure your ChatGPT app is up to date by visiting the Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS).
- Launch the app: Open the ChatGPT app on your Android or iOS device.
- Locate the headphones icon: Look for the headphones icon situated on the right side of the screen, near the message field.
- Tap "Choose a Voice": Click on the blue "Choose a Voice" button.
- Select your preferred voice: Choose from five available voices: Breeze, Ember, Cove, Juniper, or Sky.
- Start chatting: Once you've chosen your voice, ChatGPT is ready for a voice chat conversation. Begin speaking, and the AI chatbot will respond accordingly.
