ChatGPT for iPhone and iPad Can Now Read Responses Out Loud

[MacRumors]

OpenAI has announced a new Read Aloud feature for its official ChatGPT app for iPhone and iPad that allows users to have the chat bot read responses out loud in one of five voice options.

In the app, tap and hold the chat bot's text response, and then tap Read Aloud. You can also play, pause, or rewind the readout. The feature, which is also available on the web version of ChatGPT, adds another layer of voice-based interaction, and builds on the existing Voice Chat feature, which gives users the option of speaking conversationally with the chat bot instead of typing.

Read Aloud can speak 37 languages and can auto-detect the language of the text that it is reading. OpenAI says the feature should enhance accessibility for users with visual impairments or reading difficulties, such as dyslexia. It also hopes Read Aloud improves engagement by personalizing the interaction, while also supporting language learning.

As most people will know by now, ChatGPT is an AI-based chatbot that uses generative artificial intelligence to answer questions and provide advice on all manner of subjects. History is synced across devices, so you can see your ChatGPT interactions both on the web and on iOS devices, and it integrates the Whisper speech recognition system.

"Why yes, I will be taking over your job in the future."

They did that (for free) after 1 year the app is online.
Meanwhile Siri is still trying to understand which contact to call.

"Tell me about apple's anti-competitive behaviour" 😂

It’s amazing that ChatGPT can also read it aloud in any language!! What is Apple doing here? Still not offering a huge variety of languages.

It can’t call contacts in many languages. 😡

 

[vicviper789]

Didn't apple allow apps to use the siri API?
We just need to get chatGPT to say "hey seeree call dawd" out loud so Siri can hear it properly and call dad.

Maybe it’s official now, but this feature has been available for me since February, on the official app.

Yup, I've had it since January in Australia. I think the story was only picked up because they were advertising it. Not a big deal.

ChatGPT is the weaponisation of "it must be true I saw it on the internet"

 

[return2sendai]

More bells and whistles. But…

AI? Sure...

If you ask ChatGPT if it can read aloud, it will say no. Classic disconnect between the LLM and app that wraps it.

They did that (for free) after 1 year the app is online.
Meanwhile Siri is still trying to understand which contact to call.

Yesterday, I asked Siri to "remind me to buy new red ballpen refill" and what I got bore no relation to that. I wouldn't trust Siri to call or text the right person, either, never mind what text it might produce in a message.

"Remind me about this later" when I have an email open works half of the time - the other 25% Siri asks "What do you want to be reminded about?" or puts a reminder in Reminders called "remind me about this later...."

I don't want Siri to be like ChatGPT either. Banal, emotionless trawling through the internet, telling me stuff which is either obvious or may be wrong.

I'm surprised the EU haven't passed a law yet requiring companies to uphold anything their AI bots say. They've done USB-C chargers, the App Store - perhaps this is next. Meanwhile, here in Japan, the government couldn't care less what chargers companies sell and their customers choose to buy - and last week some driving licence centres couldn't issue licenses on February 29th because of a leap year-related glitch.

Who needs the EU, Canada is leading that charge...

Not sure how you're getting those results. Are you using ChatGPT4?

Truly human like intelligence

Asked ChatGPT the same question, but got a shorter reply. I wonder if it is country or region specific and how it all works… FWIW, I am in France. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Much like the show Friends, I will go to my grave having never (purposely) experienced AI. Ever.

 

[BornAgainMac]

Voices are good. Lot of progress since the old Mac OS 9 voices like Albert, Good News, Whisper, Whisper, and Bells.

 

[svish]

Good to know. Expecting more languages to be added soon. Siri has a lot of catching up to do.
