OpenAI's ChatGPT can now read its responses back to you out loud.

The feature, which is available on OpenAI's Android and iOS apps, can be accessed by tapping and holding ChatGPT's text response and then choosing "Read Aloud."

OpenAI says the feature is also rolling out on the web, where it's available via a "Read Aloud" button below the message. This is not available for everyone yet; I don't see it, and ChatGPT itself tells me there's no such feature.

Read Aloud is available for ChatGPT 3.5 and ChatGPT 4, and it has five different voice options for you to choose from. The chatbot speaks 37 languages, and will automatically detect the language of the text that it's reading.

OpenAI first launched voice capabilities for ChatGPT back in September 2023, allowing users to ask questions via voice prompts and have the bot answer with its own voice. The difference here is that the bot can now generate a written response first and then read it back to you.
