OpenAI Enables ChatGPT Voice in Codex App via iOS Remote Access
OpenAI has announced that users can now use ChatGPT Voice within the Codex desktop app via the iOS app using paired remote access. Android support for this feature is expected to be released in the future. This integration allows developers to interact with OpenAI's coding agents using voice commands directly from their mobile devices, streamlining the development workflow. It represents a step forward in making AI-driven software engineering tools more accessible and hands-free. To use this feature, users must pair their iOS device with the host running the Codex desktop app by scanning a QR code to establish a secure remote connection. Currently, this capability is limited to iOS users, with Android support coming soon.
