Dear OpenAI Team,
First, I want to express my gratitude for the incredible utility ChatGPT provides, especially with its advanced voice mode. I use this tool to facilitate communication with a family member who suffered a stroke and has both cognitive and motor difficulties. The ability to interact through voice has been invaluable in maintaining fluid conversations, providing companionship, and enhancing their quality of life.
Currently, I am subscribed to the Plus plan, but I find the available time for advanced voice mode insufficient for our needs. Sessions with my family member often require prolonged use, and the current limitations pose a challenge.
Additionally, I have encountered the following issues with the Android app that, if addressed, could greatly improve accessibility and usability:
- Manual activation of advanced voice mode :
Each time I open the ChatGPT app, it defaults to text mode, requiring me to manually activate the advanced voice mode. It would be incredibly helpful if the app could:
- Remember the last-used configuration (such as voice mode).
- Allow users to set advanced voice mode as the default option in the settings.
- Unnecessary consumption of time :
It seems that advanced voice mode time is consumed even when the app is open but not actively interacting. This is particularly frustrating. A solution could be to:
- Optimize time usage so that it doesn’t consume resources when idle.
- Suggested improvements to Android configurations :
- Add the option to automatically enable and disable advanced voice mode during specific time slots configured by the user. This would make it easier to adapt to specific daily routines.
- Include a more advanced option where ChatGPT can remain on standby without consuming time and only activate with a specific voice command.
In summary, ChatGPT with advanced voice mode is an invaluable tool for individuals with communication challenges. However, with improvements to time management, configurations, and accessibility, it could become an even more powerful and efficient resource for people like my family member who depend on it daily.
Thank you for your hard work, and I look forward to your response.
Best regards, : Juan Antonio S.
