I’ve been using the ChatGPT Android app for a while now, and one feature that’s been consistently frustrating is the voice input. For at least six months, I’ve dealt with unreliable performance, despite support confirming the issue is on their end. It worked well for a month, but recently, it’s been acting up again. When I try to use it, I often get a blank failed reply or a ‘Network Issue’ message, even when my network is fine.
I’ve tried looking for alternatives and found that Claude has a good voice input feature for text chats. However, I prefer the quality of ChatGPT’s replies and I’m invested in their ecosystem with features like Projects folders. I wish the voice input would work properly, as it’s a significant part of my workflow.
If you’re experiencing similar issues or have found a solution, I’d love to hear about it. It’s disappointing when a feature that’s supposed to make our lives easier becomes unusable. Let’s hope the developers can iron out these issues soon and make the ChatGPT Android app more reliable for voice input users.
