Feature Request: Push-to-Talk Button for ChatGPT (Desktop)

Hey everyone,

I’d like to propose a Push-to-Talk (PTT) button for the desktop version of ChatGPT’s voice feature.

Right now, the voice mode feels a bit awkward without a way to control when the AI listens in real-time. A PTT button would allow users to press and hold a key (like Spacebar or a customizable key) to talk, just like in two-way radios or Discord.

Why is this useful?

  • More natural voice interaction
  • Avoids accidental input when AI is listening continuously
  • Makes voice usage more efficient and responsive

Would anyone else find this feature useful? Let’s discuss and maybe OpenAI will take notice! :rocket:
