The latest reverse engineering report reveals that ChatGPT may be on the verge of a significant voice feature upgrade. Users have noticed updates to the read-aloud button icon and more natural, expressive reading voices. Notably, the report indicates that up to eight new voices may be available in the future, each with a unique code name.
These new voices are characterized by more natural expressions of non-verbal sounds, such as animal calls, and the ability to convey specific emotions when reading bold or italicized text. This means that ChatGPT's voice capabilities will become more diverse and adaptable to a wider range of applications.
However, these new features have only been discovered through reverse engineering and have not been officially released. Interestingly, if all existing voices were listed in the settings menu, they might not all fit on the screen, suggesting that ChatGPT's user interface may need an update, or the new voices may be rolled out in batches.
It is worth noting that these new voices still fall within the realm of text-to-speech (TTS) technology and may not be related to the more advanced voice modes currently in the alpha stage. Nevertheless, this upgrade represents an important advancement in AI voice technology, promising more personalized and immersive interactive experiences for users.
With the potential release of this feature, ChatGPT not only maintains its lead in text generation but also demonstrates strong innovative capabilities in voice interaction. Users can look forward to experiencing these exciting new features in the near future.
