Will Read Aloud Be Part of GPT-5?

Hi everyone,

With GPT-5 reportedly launching in the second half of 2025, I wanted to open a discussion on whether the Read Aloud feature will continue in this new version.

Since its introduction in early 2024, Read Aloud has become incredibly useful — especially for accessibility, language learning, multitasking, and people who prefer listening over reading. Given its popularity and OpenAI’s recent emphasis on multimodal and user-friendly experiences, do we know if Read Aloud will be supported in GPT-5?

  • Will it stay in both free and paid versions?
  • Will we see improvements (e.g. naturalness, custom voices, or audio replies in other languages)?
  • Has anyone from OpenAI confirmed its integration into future models?

Looking forward to hearing thoughts or any insights from the team or community.

Thanks!
