Try Talking to AI Chatbot Instead of Typing: Here’s How to Get Started
ChatGPT has introduced a new era of artificial intelligence, enabling individuals to engage in interactive conversations with AI using large language models (LLMs). This advancement allows people to ask a wide range of questions and receive responses. ChatGPT can engage in casual conversations, provide factual answers, and even generate essays, showcasing the impressive capabilities of generative AI. However, utilizing this technology requires patience as it necessitates typing lengthy and detailed prompts, and occasionally providing follow-up prompts to ensure comprehension. Nevertheless, there is a solution to overcome this challenge – users can simply communicate their queries verbally to ChatGPT.
OpenAI has added an open source speech recognition system to ChatGPT so that it can hear spoken words and then transcribe them into written words so that it can analyze them and respond accordingly. This feature is called Whisper, and you don’t need third-party apps or follow any complicated processes to use it, as long as you use it on your smartphone, be it Android or iPhone.
Speak your question to ChatGPT
This integration of ChatGPT and Whisper was not only for those who want to use an AI chatbot on the go, but also for those who have physical disabilities that prevent them from typing messages. It is both a convenience and an accessibility tool.
So if you need this feature to speak long and exhaustive prompts to get specific answers from your chatbot, you need to know how to use this feature.
First of all, you need a smartphone, because this feature is easier to use there than on a desktop. As mentioned above, this is available on iOS and Android.
Before proceeding to the steps, please download and install the official ChatGPT app and then login with your OpenAI account. Then follow these instructions.
