Yes — requires a paid plan
Advanced Voice Mode
Advanced voice is now **available on every plan, including free**—OpenAI's GPT-Live replaced the old Advanced Voice Mode as the default, with GPT-Live-1 mini for free accounts and GPT-Live-1 for paid. Free users get it on **web and mobile**; **voice in the macOS and Windows desktop apps is paid-only** and returned in July 2026 after being retired in January.
