How to Use the Advanced Voice Mode in ChatGPT | AI Basics
A clear, step-by-step guide
With ChatGPT’s new Advanced Voice Mode, you can speak instead of typing. The voice feature feels like a real conversation and is easy to set up — even if you’re not a computer expert. This guide will walk you through the process in simple steps.
Step 1: Click the Voice Button
On the ChatGPT homepage, look for the icon with sound waves (next to the microphone symbol). Click it to begin.

Step 2: Allow Microphone Access
Your browser will now ask for permission to use your microphone. Choose either “Allow while visiting the site” or “Allow this time” to continue.

Step 3: Review the Voice Features
You’ll now see an overview of the voice mode. It highlights features like:
- ✓ Natural conversations
- ✓ Personalized responses
- ✓ Control over audio recordings
Click “Continue” to proceed.

Step 4: Choose a Voice
Select a voice that suits your preference. Some are calm and composed, others more upbeat. Browse the options and click “Start new chat” when ready.

Step 5: Start Talking
You are now in a live voice chat. You’ll see two buttons at the bottom of the screen:
- 🎙 Microphone — tap to speak
- ✖ X — tap to end the session

Final Tip
Speak normally and clearly, just like in a phone call. You don’t need to use any special commands — the system understands natural speech and will respond accordingly.
You’re Ready
The Advanced Voice Mode makes ChatGPT feel more human. It’s ideal for hands-free use, practicing a new language, or simply having a more natural conversation.
