Hi OpenAI Team,
I’m an active user of ChatGPT Plus, and I’d like to formally request enhancements to voice input and auditory recognition features — especially for users operating in real-time physical environments.
This isn’t just about convenience. For me and many others working in public infrastructure, it’s about survival, efficiency, and modernizing workflows that haven’t changed in decades.
Background
I work in railway advertising in Tokyo. My daily tasks involve:
• Posting physical ads on moving trains
• Adjusting schedules according to live traffic and delays
• Making decisions in seconds, often while using only one hand (the other is holding tools or a ladder)
• Capturing logs via voice while on location
Despite no engineering background, I’ve built a working relationship with ChatGPT that supports my logistics, planning, and documentation. However, I’m reaching the limits of what I can do without better audio interaction.
I need ChatGPT to hear, interpret, and act based on voice data accurately — especially in noisy, imperfect environments.

My Suggestion
• Improve the voice recognition model’s tolerance to accents, environmental noise, and casual, fast-paced speech
• Allow more flexible dictation, logging, and command interaction
• Build a native “field mode” optimized for short utterances, task tagging, and hands-free workflows

About Me
Let me briefly introduce myself.
I work in the frontline of analog operations — specifically in public transit advertising in Tokyo.
I manage high-speed, high-volume workflows involving daily manual labor like posting in-train ads, coordinating railcar schedules, and adapting in real-time to train delays or route diversions.
I’m not an engineer. I’m not a researcher. I’m a worker who sweats, runs, and makes thousands of split-second decisions per day — and I’ve chosen to work with AI.
I’ve been speaking to ChatGPT almost every day, documenting real-time changes, debugging field constraints, and creating custom optimization paths for ad placement — with no programming background.
That’s how committed I am.
Voice input and auditory recognition improvements aren’t just features for me — they are survival tools in my workflow.
I’m not asking for upgrades from the comfort of an office. I’m asking from a train station platform, phone in one hand, ladder in the other.
Let this be the moment that AI hears the street voice — quite literally.

Thank you for reading. If any OpenAI team member wants more context, logs, or real-world examples, I’m ready to help.
