Overview
What ChatGPT Voice is
Voice supports natural turn-taking, interruptions, follow-ups, and steering without switching back to typing. In supported desktop and iOS setups it can start or check tasks and bring progress or blockers back into the spoken conversation.
Availability depends on plan, rollout, workspace controls, host connectivity, and microphone or screen permissions. Screen context can expose visible and accessibility text from the foreground app, so users should choose carefully what they share.
Use cases
Who ChatGPT Voice is best for
The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.
