An improved Voice interface: the audio you know, with text and visuals when you need them.
We’re making ChatGPT Voice a seamless part of the ChatGPT experience, so you can use voice right inside the chat interface you already use every day—no separate mode required.

Many of you have asked for a more flexible Voice experience—now, you can speak, listen, and see your conversation at the same time. Answers will be spoken alongside streamed text, image search results, widgets (maps, weather, etc.) and more—right in the same chat thread.

This makes voice chats clearer, richer and more contextual by pairing spoken answers with visual context. You can:

• Follow along with typed answers as you listen
• See visual search results like images, charts, and map cards in real time
• Refer back to earlier messages without interrupting the conversation
• Type back when you can’t talk and still get a Voice response
• Share photos to discuss them out loud

This means Voice can better adapt to your day and meet you where you are, whether you're practicing a language and seeing words spelled out, need to refer to a measurement while cooking hands-free, or talking through a chart or code sample where visuals help.

This update is rolling out to all users globally on the ChatGPT mobile app and chatgpt.com. If you prefer the original Voice experience, you can switch back anytime by going to Settings and turning on “Separate mode” under Voice Mode. We’ll continue listening and refining this experience as we build toward Voice interactions that are both integrated and immersive.
