Previously, European users could bypass region restrictions by using a VPN, too TechRadar reveals.
books One Reddit user last month: “I have a German iPhone, German as my main language, German provider and I’m in Germany. “I didn’t get any information about the advanced voice feature, and today I created a VPN connection to a random American server, and after an hour I restarted the application and got the new feature. ”
Advanced audio feature launched For selected Plus subscribers in July They promised to provide natural sound with artificial intelligence. In a demo held in May by OpenAI staff, the feature easily understood what they asked and responded in real time with accurate and useful information, even if they were interrupted or if the employee changed their question mid-sentence.
