iOS 18’s new Vocal Shortcut feature is a game-changer for ChatGPT-4o
A few weeks before Apple unveiled iOS 18 at WWDC 2024, the company announced a number of accessibility features coming to iPhone with the new update.
At the time, I said that I hoped the new Vocal Shortcuts accessibility feature in iOS 18 would help me launch the ChatGPT app by simply saying "ChatGPT" out loud. It's just like telling Siri to open ChatGPT without invoking Siri with the usual "Hey Siri" or "Siri" appleatives. Even better, if I say "GPT voice," Siri will automatically start the GPT-4o voice chat with ChatGPT.
Now that I have installed iOS 18 beta 1 on my iPhone 14 Pro, I can tell you the Vocal Shortcuts feature is enabled. I used it to set up the voice shortcut above, and it's incredibly easy. You can use Vocal Shortcuts for the same purpose, opening an app by voice, regardless of the app. It works with anything, not just ChatGPT.
Vocal Shortcuts also work with shortcuts you might have set up on the iPhone. Also, Vocal Shortcuts lets you set up commands to control system elements, like the Camera, Control Center, Flashlight, Volume, and others. You can even take screenshots using a vocal shortcut. Similarly, you can use voice to invoke other accessibility features. The setup process is similar.
