ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode is being rolled out to some users.

The company plans to enable it for all subscribers sometime this fall.

The feature is only half of what OpenAI demonstrated when it launched the GPT-4o model in May .

The vision aspect we saw in the livestreamed demo is now scheduled for a later release.

The enhanced Sky voice, which Scarlett Johanssen pushed back on, has been removed.

ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode was solid at generating vocal impressions, after some nudging.

While the tool is best at English , it can switch between multiple languages within the same conversation.

With the US presidential election just a few months away, I was surprised that it could do a decent vocal fry on command.
