ChatGPT Now Lets You Enable Voice Mode Directly Inside Your Chat without Switching — Here's How
ChatGPT's voice mode now integrates maps, visuals, and conversation transcripts in the main chat, enhancing user interaction with a natural conversational flow.
- OpenAI has combined ChatGPT Voice with the main chat interface, making the voice-and-text design the default as the rollout begins for all mobile and web users.
- OpenAI says the redesign aims to make voice conversations more natural by letting users move smoothly between speech and text interaction in ChatGPT Voice.
- Demonstrations highlight maps and images appearing inline with voice replies, featuring transcript display and map results, with OpenAI's demo showing a transcript then a map listing bakeries plus photos at Tartine.
- For users, the update means you can speak and see answers appear in-chat, while a Settings toggle 'Separate mode' lets users revert to the audio-only experience, OpenAI says.
- Part of broader product momentum, this update joins recent Atlas AI browser and group chat improvements, shopping research, and the GPT-5.1 model, mixing live audio plus visuals for real-time interaction.
