Wondering how to make ChatGPT read its text responses aloud? In case you missed it, OpenAI announced the new feature on Monday.

The perk is rolling out to the Android, iOS, and web versions of the popular AI platform. But you may be wondering, "How do I activate this feature?" Allow us to show you in a few simple steps.

(Note that this feature is different from ChatGPT Voice, which lets you have full-blown conversations with the AI assistant.)

How to make ChatGPT read its responses aloud

As mentioned, you can prompt ChatGPT to read its responses aloud, which is particularly useful if it spits out a lengthy response. Instead of reading it yourself, you can make ChatGPT verbalize it for you.

In this tutorial, we'll be using the iOS ChatGPT app as our model.
