5 Ways to Control ChatGPT With Your Voice
Generative AI chatbot ChatGPT has found its way into almost every aspect of our day-to-day life. Whether you need help finding a job, completing a project at work, planning an event, or simply need someone to talk to, ChatGPT can come in handy.
Unfortunately, it can be frustrating to type out everything you need ChatGPT to do over and over again. So, to save you the stress of typing out long ChatGPT prompts, we’ve put together five ways you can control ChatGPT with your voice.
1. Using the ChatGPT Mobile App
Perhaps the easiest and most hassle-free way of controlling ChatGPT with your voice is byusing the official ChatGPT mobile app. It is available for both Android and iOS and is quite easy to use. To control ChatGPT using your voice from the mobile app:

It’s worth noting thatOpenAI is giving ChatGPT a voice to respond to your prompts. This will allow for natural, voice-based conversations with the chatbot. it’s possible to speak commands and questions out loud and hear voiced responses. This provides a more natural interaction, like talking to a real person. However, voiced replies are still rolling out and may currently be limited to ChatGPT Plus users.
2. Using VoiceGPT App
If you want to enjoy this kind of two-way voice conversation even before ChatGPT rolls out the feature to everyone, VoiceGPT is a great option. The app uses speech-to-text and text-to-speech technology to allow two-way voiced interaction with ChatGPT, providing a natural and personalized conversational experience. Here’s how to set it up:
On the settings page, it’s a good idea to enableAuto Reactivate Microphone,so you don’t have to manually re-enable the mic each time. With VoiceGPT, you can converse naturally with ChatGPT just as you would in a Google Assistant kind of conversation, probably better.

5. Using Chrome Extensions
If you’re accessing ChatGPT on a desktop browser, another option for using voice commands is through Chrome extensions. You can use general-purpose text-to-speech Chrome extensions or those specifically designed for ChatGPT. Here are some speech-to-text Chrome extensions you can use for ChatGPT.
The Voice In speech-to-text Chrome extension works on almost any website you can type text. Whether dictating an email on the Gmail website or speaking out prompts on the ChatGPT website, Voice In can come in handy. There are dozens of languages on offer, and it transcribes text with impressive speed.
VoiceWave - ChatGPT Voice Control
VoiceWave is purpose-built for ChatGPT and comes with many customization features you’ll find handy. For example, you can issue voice commands in dozens of languages, and VoiceWave will automatically transcribe them to text right inside the ChatGPT prompt input box.
Recording with the tool is quite easy. Once you’ve installed and activated the Chrome extension, a small microphone icon sits next to your ChatGPT prompt input box every time you visit the ChatGPT website. Clicking the microphone icon activates the speech-to-text feature, activates your computer’s microphone, and listens to your voice commands for transcription.
Talk-to-ChatGPT
Although not entirely the best in design and accessibility, Talk-to-ChatGPT is one of the most widely used extensions for issuing voice commands to ChatGPT. It supports most major languages and comes with many customization features you’ll find useful.
Once installed and activated, the Talk-to-ChatGPT Chrome extension adds a small rectangular box in the top right corner of your screen. The box contains controls for toggling on and off voice typing. Apart from issuing voice commands, it’s possible to also get the tool to read out ChatGPT’s responses using different AI voices.
Voice Control for ChatGPT
Voice Control for ChatGPT is exactly what the name says—it gives you the ability to prompt ChatGPT with voice commands while it reads back the responses if you prefer. Once installed and activated, the Chrome extension adds several buttons just below the ChatGPT prompt text box, which you can use to control your voice interaction with ChatGPT.
Unlike Talk-to-ChatGPT and VoiceWave, editing out mistakes or mistranscribed words is a bit complex since the text is not directly injected into ChatGPT’s prompt text box. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s an excellent speech-to-text tool nonetheless.
Will ChatGPT Get An Official Audio Input Feature?
Despite popular demand for a voice input feature, OpenAI has kept its ChatGPT interface as basic as possible. While the clutter-free design is appealing to many users, ChatGPT might benefit from an inbuilt voice input feature, especially considering how frequently people use the app.
But the big question is, is OpenAI interested in adding such a feature to ChatGPT? While we wait to see whether such a feature will come to life, use the methods we’ve shared above to issue voice commands to ChatGPT.
