ChatGPT's Voice Conversations Tutorial

Introduction

2023 has been the year of AI, and in this article, we will delve into a new voice chat feature in the ChatGPT app, which has been recently rolled out by OpenAI.

To access this feature, you must have a ChatGPT Plus subscription, costing $ 19.99 per month. Ensure your app is updated, then follow these steps to start a voice conversation with ChatGPT.

Enabling Voice Chat in ChatGPT

1. Update the App: Before you start, make sure that the ChatGPT app is updated to its latest version.
2. Select the Right Model: Open the app, and by default, you will be set to the gpt-3.5 model, which is free and the fastest version. Select gpt-4 on the right, where you will see options like browse with Bing and Dolly. Note that browse with Bing and Dolly work only in the text-to-chat window.
3. Starting a Voice Conversation: Click on the blue headset icon to initiate a voice conversation. Allow live activities from ChatGPT, and the app will show a simple animation indicating when to start speaking.

Once you are in chat mode, you can have an open-ended conversation with the AI. ChatGPT responds and may ask follow-up questions to keep the interaction going. Your interaction metrics such as chat time are valuable data points for OpenAI.

Using Voice Chat for Assistance

During the conversation, ChatGPT offers to analyze images and respond to your inquiries with more accuracy and better conversational flow. It is like having an AI assistant that waits in the background for your command, even if your phone screen times out.

To customize your voice interaction settings, select the list icon on the top left and then the three-dot menu on the bottom right. Here you can select your voice from five available options, each named after elements in nature (e.g., Juniper). Confirm your selection and adjust the primary language if necessary.

Practical Uses

Voice chat can assist with practical tasks such as cooking. For example:

• Cooking Assistance: You can ask ChatGPT for cooking recipes while your hands are full. For instance, if you're making a chicken dish:
  • Season the chicken tenders with spices.
  • Use separate dishes for the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil and coat each chicken tender in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
  • Fry until golden brown.

Voice chat makes it easier to follow recipes hands-free, ensuring a smoother cooking experience.
