OpenAI Finally Rolls Out Advanced Voice to ChatGPT Plus and Team Users
After much anticipation, OpenAI has commenced the rollout of its Advanced Voice feature for all Plus and Team users within the ChatGPT app. The deployment is expected to be finalized over the week, with users receiving notifications once they gain access.
The new Advanced Voice feature introduces five unique voices and supports over 50 languages, allowing users to experience responses in various accents. One of the key highlights is the ability to personalize instructions, providing users with a more tailored experience. By setting specific preferences for AI interactions through voice, users can enhance their overall engagement.
While Advanced Voice brings a range of improvements, it is currently not accessible in certain regions such as the European Union, the UK, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. This rollout follows significant updates to the ChatGPT app, including the integration of Custom Instructions, Memory, and enhancements to voice accents.
Enhancements in Advanced Voice
Recently, Kyutai, a French non-profit AI research lab, introduced Moshi, a real-time multimodal AI model capable of engaging in human-like conversations, similar to the goals of OpenAI's advanced model.
Hume AI launched EVI 2, a new voice-to-voice AI model designed to enhance human-like interactions. EVI 2, currently in beta, can engage in fluent conversations, interpret tones, and adjust responses accordingly, supporting various personalities, accents, and languages.
