ChatGPT can now see your images, hear your voice, and answer your questions in a human-like voice. Multimodality — the ability to process images and voice, in addition to text — is finally here.

Here’s what you need to know:

Voice

  • You can now use voice to engage in back-and-forth conversations with ChatGPT and use it as an assistant.

  • You can enable voice from the New Features section in Settings. You can then choose between 5 different voices.

  • You can check out voice samples here.

Images

  • You’ll be able to take or upload images into ChatGPT and ask questions about the image.

  • Questions can range from why your grill isn’t working to what the meaning of a graph is.

  • You’ll be able to focus and ask questions about a specific part of the image using the drawing tool.

  • You will also be able to upload screenshots and documents containing both text and images.

  • You can watch a sample video of the feature here.

Both features will be available in 2 weeks to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users. Developers will also be given access in the future.

You can get more details on the new features here.
