  • OpenAI appears to be working on eight new voices for ChatGPT, which would bump the total to twelve options.
  • These voices will reportedly express sounds more naturally, especially when imitating animals and producing other nonverbal noises.
  • The upcoming voice options will seemingly be able to convey emotions when the text they’re reading is bolded or italicized.

ChatGPT has been steadily introducing new features, consequently becoming many users’ go-to AI chatbot. One of its current perks is voice support, which enables users to converse with it or have it read text out loud. Right now, users can only pick between four voice options, which some may find a bit limiting. Fortunately, OpenAI is seemingly working to bring eight more voices to ChatGPT, raising the total to twelve.

According to Testing Catalog, recent reverse engineering reports have revealed eight new ChatGPT voices that could launch in the near future. The upcoming options — dubbed Fathom, Glimmer, Harp, Maple, Orbit, Rainbow, Reef, Ridge, and Vale — would presumably be offered alongside the existing four voices. This would increase the total to twelve.
