I'm curious if ChatGPT has the ability to record audio directly and transcribe it into text. Does it support voice inputs or only text-based inputs? If it can transcribe, how accurate is it and are there any limitations?

Some platforms have integrated voice input with ChatGPT on the frontend, converting speech to text before sending it to ChatGPT. But this is done externally, not by ChatGPT natively.
Currently, ChatGPT itself does not have the capability to record audio. It primarily works with text inputs. However, you can use third-party tools to record audio and convert it to text, then feed that text into ChatGPT for further processing.
OpenAI does offer Whisper, which is a speech-to-text model designed for transcription. While ChatGPT doesn't transcribe audio itself, Whisper can be integrated alongside it to handle audio inputs.
