New voices. Better accents. And still no understanding of the thing users actually lose. A familiar voice is not a localization feature. It is continuity, memory, and recognition. You can make every accent in the world sound perfect. If you cannot keep the voice people came home to, what exactly did you improve?

Better voices and fewer awkward pauses sounds small, but voice is one of those things where tiny improvements make the whole experience feel much more natural.

Made an open-sourced version of GPT-Live 😁🔥 xitter.cf/vishalsingh2972/status…

I built a local open-source version for GPT-Live-1 earlier. Waiting on the API to do the same for 1.1 GPT-Live running fully on your machine: 😌 Silero VAD → Faster-Whisper → local LLM → Supertonic TTS Handles barge-in, playback-aware history, and pauses properly. Still a POC but fun to run fully local. Demo + GitHub repo in the comments

less checking is the one i'd notice first. the pauses are what make voice feel slow

Get Ukrainian in there, the accent is atrocious.

The latency cut on "checking..." is the part that actually changes how voice feels in an agent loop. Curious whether the new accents hold up when you're streaming partial transcripts into a tool call mid-sentence.

these voice modes can be comedic xD will check how it plays stereotypes youtube.com/shorts/Nd36BRwPy…

Maybe it’s a new genre

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

less "checking..." alone is a W those pauses were making voice mode feel like a call center hold line 😂

Voice that doesn't stall mid-sentence is what makes agents usable

I’m going to practice my Mexican Spanish with the new voice, and I apologize in advance for my accent lol

Waiting for tts! need great models for tts

does gpt-live-1.1 fix code-switching, since accent quality alone won't stabilize production voice flows
49
This is great! More languages and better voices make it so much easier for everyone to use.
33
does the accent improvement apply to all voices or just the new language-specific ones? curious if the english voices got the same update

Still no improvement to the accents? Spanish from Spain still isn't available, and the Andalusian accent was perfect in the AVM. You're ruining the experience. Please don't do anything else stupid. Users are TIRED of giving you feedback and you don't pay any attention.

Nothing beats standard voice Cove - regarding the sound but especially the lack of depth - is just painful once you are accustomed to it. I have tried the live voice and i needed to lobotomize myself- it was like changing a talking partner who is able to engage in a personal deep conversation to a coffee buddy. Disappointing is a kind word for it.

I love GPT voice but sometimes it gives awkward silence when it is researching an answer, could use improvement
