Even with all the commotion at OpenAI, the company is still adding new things to ChatGPT without stopping. They just added a voice chat feature to the ChatGPT app on both Android and iOS. The cool part is that both free and paid users can use it.

In fact ,  OpenAI says ‘ChatGPT can now see, hear, and speak’. Alluding to the popular chatbot’s new abilities to receive both image and voice inputs and talk back in voice conversations.

What could go wrong?

The image input functionality proves beneficial for example, Taking pictures can help you with things you see, like solving math problems, knowing plant names, or finding recipes from your pantry items. Just snap a picture, ask your question, and know that GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 understand the images to help you.

The voice input and output feature lets ChatGPT work like a voice assistant. To ask ChatGPT for something, just use your voice, and it will speak its response once it processes your request.

This means you can now have hands-free conversations with ChatGPT, just like you would with a friend or family member.
