OpenAI Is Working On Eight More Voices For ChatGPT That Express Sounds More Naturally

OpenAI is working on giving users a more seamless and natural experience while using the popular chat assistant.

If you’ve become bored of the constant or repetitive sounds that come out of the chatbot during use, here’s some great news. The tool is getting up to eight more natural sounds. This brings the total number of options to 12 for this AI endeavor.

Voice support has always been one of the chatbot’s most unique features and seeing this get a revamp is certainly going to be welcomed by users.

This news was first confirmed by Testing Catlog which thanks to reverse engineering shared the revelation of eight new voice options coming in a future launch. Interestingly, each voice has a specific name including Fathom, Harp, Orbit, Reef, Rainbow, Glimmer, Maple, Ridge, and Vale.

This would be up for grabs alongside the usual four options that we’ve been using since the start. Other than giving a distinct tone, the fresh offerings can also express non-verbal sounds. This adds a more realistic touch.

Furthermore, the new voices will be able to imitate animals and produce sounds so much more accurately. Common examples described so far are dog barks. Other than that, the latest array of sounds can give rise to more adjustments for tones depending on how text is formatted. Hence, if something is highlighted in bold, it could express a feeling with greater emotion than another in plain style. The same would go for italics.

For now, it’s not clear if and when the release will happen as OpenAI is yet to provide any confirmation on this front. All the reports are generated through reverse engineering so it’s still a work in progress.
