Feature request:
Please add an accessibility setting to the ChatGPT mobile app:
Auto-read assistant responses: On/Off
When enabled, ChatGPT should automatically read only the newest assistant response aloud after generation finishes, using either the built-in ChatGPT voice or the iPhone system text-to-speech voice.
Needed options:
-
Read only the newest assistant message, not the whole screen
-
Use system text-to-speech to avoid extra server voice costs
-
Large persistent play/pause button
-
Stop reading when the user starts dictating or typing
-
Keep the user in the same chat thread
-
Do not require VoiceOver, Speak Screen, copying text, or API billing
This is an accessibility need, not a premium voice feature. Users with visual strain, driving constraints, mobility issues, ADHD, or reading difficulty need spoken readback without losing chat context or paying separately for API access.
