ChatGPT text-to-speech: 8 new voices are in the works
OpenAI is constantly developing new features and enhancements for its chatbot, ChatGPT. Recently, through reverse engineering, a group of engineers stumbled upon eight new voices within the AI chatbot that are yet to be officially released to the public.
According to reports, the ChatGPT users discovered a new "read aloud" icon in an experimental version of the web app. Delving deeper, they unveiled eight distinct ChatGPT voices, each with its unique codename.
Preview of the new ChatGPT voices
You can listen to the preview of these new ChatGPT voices, along with animal sounds, in the video @stevelizcano.
At present, ChatGPT offers four voices for users to choose from: Breeze, Cove, Ember, and Juniper. Initially, there was a fifth voice known as Sky, but it was later removed due to its similarity to a character portrayed in the movie "Her".
As highlighted by TestingCatalog, these new voices exhibit a more natural and expressive tone compared to the current options. They excel in expressing non-verbal cues, animal noises, and effectively emphasize italicized or bolded words by the user.
While there is no official timeline for when these voices will be released, speculations suggest that they may be part of an upcoming major update to the ChatGPT platform.
