New Feature Allows ChatGPT to Read Answers Out Loud. 'The Verge' reports that ChatGPT's new Read Aloud feature allows the artificial intelligence to read responses aloud in one of five different voice options. The new function is now available on the web version of the AI, as well as on the iOS and Android ChatGPT apps. The Read Aloud feature is also available in 37 languages and is capable of auto-detecting which language text is written in. The new feature shows off the AI's multimodal capabilities, which comes about shortly after competitor, Anthropic, revealed similar features on its AI models. Multimodal refers to an AI's ability to read and respond through more than one medium, which equates to understanding verbal and image-based queries in addition to text-based ones. In September 2023, ChatGPT launched its voice chat feature, which allowed users to directly ask the AI questions without having to type them out. The new feature now lets the chatbot read its responses out loud, and it can be set to always respond verbally to users' prompts. 'The Verge' reports that mobile app users can tap and hold text to activate the Read Aloud feature. Meanwhile, on the web version, users will find a speaker icon below text that is used to activate the new feature. The new Read Aloud feature also allows users to play, pause or rewind the AI's readout. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
