In September, OpenAI announced that the voice chat feature, which is powered by a text-to-speech model, has the ability to generate human-like audio from just text and a few seconds of sample speech. The company said that they have collaborated with professional voice actors to create each of the voices. “We also use Whisper, our open-source speech recognition system, to transcribe your spoken words into text,” mentioned OpenAI on its blog post in September.
