The new voice-to-voice chat functionality is currently available to all Android userswith both free and paid accounts.
Here’s how it works and why I’m excited.
First, let’s look at how you pull up the voice interface.
As you might see, you also have the option to choose between four different voice styles.
Mike and Mary have a British accent, while Alex and Kate sound more American.
All the voices seem to have a personality and can emote while talking.
It isn’t the standardrobotic text-to-speech voicethat tends to get distracting.
One of the key improvements is Perplexity’s more forgiving approach to accepting voice inputs.
This enhancement creates a more natural conversational flow, especially when formulating complex queries or ideas.
Another standout feature is Perplexity’s live captioning.
you’re free to both hear and read the AI’s response in real time.
In addition, you’ll have an overview of the web sources Perplexity is referencing to generate the answer.
And last but not least, Perplexity’s voice feature is just more reliable.
That said, Perplexity can’t generate images during voice chats.
