When I access ChatGPT-4o via the web page, I have a headphone icon to turn on and off TTS, but I can only choose three Microsoft voices. None of the OpenAI voices are available, even with Juniper actvated.
In the ChatGPT-4o desktop app, there is no headphone icon nor any way indicated to turn on/off Voice Chat (TTS).
So how do I activate TTS/Voice in Windows Desktop (either the app or the web page interface)?
Maybe I misspoke as to a “Windows Version” or “App.” I’m talking about the web based interface when accessed from PC.
(sorry, I “can’t include links in my post” now for some reason. Oh brother… I still can’t. It’s (chat) and then (dot) and then (openai) and another dot, then com.
That one is what I use. However, you can apparently download a “Desktop” version by going here:
This one is openai and com, then / that slash, then chatgpt, another slash and then download.
…and clicking on the right side (blue one) as I mentioned a couple posts again to @ phittk. It let me post a link there, but not sure why I can’t now. shrug Go back up a couple messages, you’ll see the link.
That windows application is an unofficial app developed and deprecated by lencx, no official support from openAI. the voice feature is only available for the official Mac app
Looking at the screenshot it looks like he’s talking about PWA (Progressive Web App). You can download PWA for almost any website in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or other modern browsers.
It seems the reason behind this confusion might be articles published on websites like How-to Geek and MakeUseOf. Their titles sound more like it’s a Windows app. But in reality, it’s not a ChatGPT app for Windows. It’s just a PWA.
They might be doing it for some keywords and rankings on the web.
“Hello, I installed WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android)
on Windows and downloaded ChatGPT 4.0 to use the voice feature on the Windows desktop, but I keep getting the error related to time shown in the screenshot, which I couldn’t fix. If anyone manages to fix this error and use the feature, please let me know here. Thanks.”
If you use the Chrome browser you can download this extension. It doesn’t work exactly like on mobile but gives you the option of a voice conversation on a computer
Alternative solution with Windows :
Use “voice typing”, WIN+H.
