A voice assistant is a helper you talk to out loud. You speak, and it answers. Siri and Alexa are two well-known ones.

Instead of typing, you just say what you want. You might ask for the weather or to set a timer. It listens and replies.

ChatGPT can work this way too. On its app, you can tap a microphone button and speak. This is great if typing feels slow or hard.

Try this
  1. Open the ChatGPT app on your phone.
  2. Look for a small microphone picture near the text box.
  3. Tap it, then speak clearly.
  4. Wait a moment for ChatGPT to answer.

Speak in a normal, calm voice. You do not need to talk loud or slow.
