Breaking Barriers: ChatGPT's Read-Aloud Feature Now Available to All Users Worldwide

OpenAI has recently unveiled an innovative read-aloud feature for ChatGPT, enhancing user experience by allowing the chatbot to articulate its responses in five distinct voices. This new functionality has been seamlessly integrated into the web version of ChatGPT, along with compatibility for both iOS and Android applications.

A notable aspect of the read-aloud feature is its multilingual capability, offering a choice of 37 languages for users to engage with. Impressively, the system can autonomously identify the language being used in a conversation, ensuring accurate and relevant verbal responses. Users also have the option to configure ChatGPT to consistently provide spoken answers during interactions.

This advancement proves especially advantageous for individuals on the move, seeking the convenience of auditory responses to their queries. The feature caters to a diverse linguistic audience, aligning with global communication needs.

What sets this apart is the inclusivity of the read-aloud feature, as it is accessible to all users without any additional cost, including those utilizing GPT 3.5. This democratisation of the feature ensures that a broader user base can benefit from the enhanced capabilities of ChatGPT.

To activate the read-aloud feature, OpenAI provides simple steps for users:

1. Launch ChatGPT on your preferred platform, be it a browser, Android device, or iOS device.

2. Input a text prompt in your chosen language.

3. Await ChatGPT's response to your prompt.

4. Tap and hold on the received response, then select the "Read Aloud" option.

This feature announcement was made through a post on X, where OpenAI shared the exciting news, stating, "ChatGPT can now read responses to you. On iOS or Android, tap and hold the message and then tap 'Read Aloud.' We’ve also started rolling on the web - click the 'Read Aloud' button below the message." Emphasizing the user-friendly nature of the feature, OpenAI is ensuring that accessing this capability is straightforward and enhances the overall interaction with ChatGPT.
