HOW TO Talk to Chat GPT

Talk to ChatGPT is a Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge extension that allows users to talk with the ChatGPT AI using their voice (speech recognition), and listen to the bot's answer with a voice (text-to-speech), rather than just by typing. With this tool, users can speak to the AI and receive spoken responses, making the interaction feel more natural and conversational. This could be useful in a variety of settings where it would be helpful to have a more human-like interaction with an AI. As of version 2.6, we now support ElevenLabs API integration, which means you can create your own voices for text-to-speech!

The extension can be downloaded from here:

• From the Chrome Web store here:                 {getButton} $text={Visit a Link} $icon={Visit a Link} 
• From the Edge Web store here:                      {getButton} $text={Visit a Link} $icon={Visit a Link}
• Manual installation option, detailed further below

After installing the extension, open or reload the ChatGPT page ( https://chat.openai.com/ ) and you should be seeing a 'Start' button on the top right corner of the page. After you click Start, you will be asked for permission to use your Microphone. This is required to enable voice recognition.

Once started, Talk-to-ChatGPT displays a menu on the top right corner of the page where users can access settings (such as voice, language, and more), skip the current message, toggle voice recognition on or off, and toggle text-to-speech on or off.

The settings menu can be seen below. Settings are saved in a cookie and reloaded automatically each time you activate the script.

HOW TO Talk to Chat GPT

To use it, you need to open the ChatGPT home page. A box will appear at the top right corner of the page - click the START button to start.

This extension supports all voice recognition and text-to-speech languages from the Google Chrome API, which means all major languages are supported.

This is a fun/experimental project that adds functionality to the default ChatGPT text-only interface. It is completely free of charge and open source. The sources are available on Github.

The extension adds a little box at the top right corner of your screen where you can toggle voice recognition on or off, the bot's voice (text to speech), skip the current message, and access the settings menu.
