ChatGPT's Voice mode is already pretty good, but OpenAI is working on a new feature that will allow you to control how Voice mode actually works. As you can see in the screenshot below, OpenAI has added "Voice speed" to the ChatGPT web app settings for voice mode. This means you can control how fast ChatGPT can speak. You can lower it to 0.5x or make it as far as 2.0x. There is a slider that allows you to specify the ChatGPT pace. These options are currently hidden. Also, OpenAI has added "c

Toothpaste made with keratin may protect and repair damaged teeth: study
