- What it is
- OpenAI's training walkthrough that explains the difference between ChatGPT Voice, a live spoken conversation, and ChatGPT dictation, which turns speech into prompt text for editing before sending.
- How much weight it carries
- Published by the vendor, so it is reliable for how ChatGPT's own features are meant to work, but it is not an independent test. OpenAI's help center pages were blocked to our fetch tools on the day we checked, so this walkthrough was used instead.
Facts taken from this source
- OpenAI says voice dictation is for turning speech into prompt text before you send it, and is separate from ChatGPT Voice, which is a live spoken conversation.
“Use voice dictation when you only want to turn speech into prompt text before sending it.” (Voice or dictation?)
