OpenAI has rolled out an update to ChatGPT Voice that unifies voice and text in a single interface. Users can now speak, type or mix both without switching screens mid-conversation.

The redesigned chat window displays live transcriptions and responses in real-time. Users can scroll through earlier messages and view images, maps and other visuals while the exchange continues in one place.

You can now use ChatGPT Voice right inside chat-no separate mode needed.

You can talk, watch answers appear, review earlier messages, and see visuals like images or maps in real time.

Previously, voice required a separate mode that hid the main chat history and shared content. OpenAI says the unified layout should make longer, mixed-mode conversations feel more natural and less fragmented.

Voice and text can still be used interchangeably, but ending a voice session requires tapping 'End' before returning to text-only use. Those who prefer the old layout can re-enable a separate voice view in settings.

The revamped Voice experience is becoming the default on web and mobile apps as the update rolls out. OpenAI aims to make ChatGPT feel more like a flexible conversational assistant across various devices.
