OpenAI is expanding access to the Advanced Voice mode it first showed off in May.
“Advanced Voice is rolling out to all Plus and Team users in the ChatGPT app over the course of the week,” according to a tweet from OpenAI, which clarified later that the rollout is not happening in the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein yet, likely due to regulations there.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
The feature launched for select Plus subscribers in July, and promises to provide a natural-sounding back and forth with the AI. In a May demo with OpenAI employees, it easily understood what they asked it, and responded in real time with accurate, useful information, even if it was interrupted or the employee adjusted their query mid-sentence.
Since then, OpenAI has added “Custom Instructions, Memory, five new voices, and improved accents.” There were also improvements made to conversational speed.
The new voices include two male and three female voices. To show off the improved accents, one of the female voices has an English accent and one of the male voices is Australian. The new voices increase the total number available to nine. Still missing is Sky, which drew the ire of Scarlett Johansson earlier this year and has since been disabled.

In another tweet, OpenAI posted a video to show off custom instructions and memory. For custom instructions, there will be a spot in the settings where people can tell ChatGPT how they want the bot to talk to them. As an example, someone may want the bot to refer to them by a nickname or speak more slowly or more clearly. It’ll also remember conversations and instructions you gave it so that it can reference those things again later. So, if you tell ChatGPT that you’re from a specific town, it’ll suggest stuff to do around town when you ask for recommendations later.
Team and Plus users will get a notification when it’s their turn to access advanced voice mode.

About Joe Hindy

Hello, my name is Joe and I am a tech blogger. My first real experience with tech came at the tender age of 6 when I started playing Final Fantasy IV (II on the SNES) on the family’s living room console. As a teenager, I cobbled together my first PC build using old parts from several ancient PCs, and really started getting into things in my 20s. I served in the US Army as a broadcast journalist. Afterward, I served as a news writer for XDA-Developers before I spent 11 years as an Editor, and eventually Senior Editor, of Android Authority. I specialize in gaming, mobile tech, and PC hardware, but I enjoy pretty much anything that has electricity running through it.
