Description
What it is and what it is for
AI-assisted draft · independently checked
Voice and speech AI covers software that turns spoken language into text (speech recognition) and software that produces artificial human speech (speech synthesis). Together they let people talk to computers instead of typing. A post on OpenAI's developer community forum describes GPT-Live-1.1 as an update to GPT-Live, an OpenAI voice model for live, spoken conversation. OpenAI describes the GPT-Live line as a model that listens and speaks at the same time and hands deeper reasoning and actions to a separate backend model, tools or agent framework. That forum post, dated 15 October 2026, presents 1.1 as an update that introduces 13 new voices.
