I’m surprised nobody has yet that I’ve seen made a talking ui for ChatGPT. Aka you speak to it your question and it speaks back its answer while writing to the screen. Or maybe I’ve missed something like that?

Yeah, quite a few out there. As long as you can write an OpenAI API integration and integrate with browser apis for TTS & transcription, you're set. Probably 20-30 hours total for an implementation.

  I was reviewing my old projects recently and found one, a voice assistant from 9-10 years ago, where I used voice recognition and TTS plus a bit of NLP to communicate with Wolfram Alpha as a sort of more nerdy Siri. It was pretty trivial, just a bunch of open APIs put together. The funny part about it (at least to me) was that I called it a *HTML5* voice assistant, because that was the cool and trendy tech then, no mention of AI/ML anywhere.

Bing (based on ChatGPT) does that, at least on mobile, if you talk to it then it will talk back to you.

How would you use it? I built such voice assistant for myself, but found that audio is a limiting medium.

I played around with this, looks good: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35358873 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35358873 I realised though that for most of my use cases I actually want it to respond with text.

I created one, focused on language skills, but can be used for anything. https://github.com/drorm/leah https://github.com/drorm/leah

I built one with Eleven Labs (they have the BEST voices so far), but the latency is really slow. https://twitter.com/tristan_mm/status/1636187642105851906?s=46&t=6qu3JnWjRHqGwp4YJsndQA https://twitter.com/tristan_mm/status/1636187642105851906?s=...

Various Telegram bots posted to HN do this. The main issue is that you generally have to wait for the OpenAI request to finish before synthesizing audio while the text can stream in immediately. But it's not bad. https://github.com/danneu/telegram-chatgpt-bot https://github.com/danneu/telegram-chatgpt-bot
