We saved Standard Voice Mode for you
Keep the calm, patient ChatGPT voice experience you love — whatever comes next
Standard Voice Mode got a reprieve, but the future remains uncertain. Say, Pi ensures continuity — the thoughtful, familiar voice experience inside ChatGPT, whatever changes come.
What happened on September 9th?
OpenAI was set to retire Standard Voice Mode but announced they're keeping it available—for now—while addressing user feedback about Advanced Voice. While this is welcome news, the future remains uncertain.
Standard Voice Mode: Calm, thoughtful, full responses you could trust at 2 AM
Advanced Voice Mode: Faster but often interrupts, gives shorter replies, feels less patient
The result: Lost connection with the AI companion you've grown to rely on
How Say, Pi preserves the Standard Voice feel
We built Say, Pi to preserve that same calm, patient experience inside ChatGPT — using the same technology that made Standard Voice Mode special. Whatever changes come, we ensure continuity.

Unreal. Can't believe you pulled this off. As ChatGPT would say, it's not just a fix—it's functionally superior to the native interface.
