Latest reviews
- (2025-06-04) Steve Ge: The reading function works fine before logging into ChatGPT, but it cannot be used after logging into ChatGPT --fixed
- (2025-06-01) nina zhao: In the manual installation link: https://voicecontrol.chat/download, Note 2: Depending on how your zip program organizes the unzipped files, make sure to select the inner "dist" folder when clicking "Load unpacked.". I tried, but i can not find the correct inner "dist" to add to chrome. Waiting for your review results, very good function!
- (2025-05-31) liu bin: Recently, the automatic read-aloud reply feature is no longer available when using this plugin. The associated icon has also disappeared, and uninstalling the Voice Control plugin did not resolve the issue.
- (2025-05-29) christopher dean: I am not getting any voice anymore. Seems to just stop working.
- (2025-05-19) atari monk: Voice is very good but button to play is gone from some time now due to probably changes on chatgpt page or something...
- (2025-05-07) Sam Lulua: Was working as intended until recently it started to record and work in dictation mode. ChatGPT already has that. I liked how the old one showed what was being typed and allowed me to make corrections. Now it launches the search as soon as dictation is finished.
- (2025-04-27) md: First of all, thank you for creating this amazing extension — it’s been very helpful, especially when interacting with AI services like ChatGPT. However, I’ve recently encountered an issue: after each conversation ends, I have to refresh the page in order to use the "press-to-talk" button again. Initially, when I first installed the extension, I could press the button and it would work without refreshing the page. Now, unless I manually refresh, the button doesn’t activate again. It seems like after a conversation ends, the extension loses connection to the page or the event listeners stop working properly. This issue did not happen before, and started recently — possibly after a browser or extension update. Could you please look into this? If possible, a feature to automatically re-bind the button after a dynamic page update (like an SPA behavior) would be amazing! Thanks again for your hard work — I really appreciate this tool!
- (2025-04-23) Jose Yusty: When it works it's 5 starts. Can't ChatGPT without it. Being able to switch languages is a game changer for us language learners.
- (2025-04-05) Martin dekker: full stars because it WAS great, but now it seems no longer to talk back... failed to play message and cant click the speaker icon under a generated text anymore? might something be off? or ?
- (2025-03-30) Dotims: The only thing that bothers and annoys me is that when we have something already entered in the text input and we write two lines down in this input and then, for example, turn on voice typing, then there is the problem that the whole text expands into one line. It seems to me that once upon a time there was no such thing and it worked properly. 😄
- (2025-03-27) Esha Singh: Mia has been an incredible addition to my daily workflow, from its intuitive interface to its smart features, everything just worked seamlessly and made my routine so much smoother. I didn’t have to spend time learning it, it just clicked right away! But recently, it suddenly stopped working, and I’ve definitely felt the difference without it. I’m really hoping this is just a temporary glitch because I’d love to continue using Mia as part of my day. Any updates on when it might be fixed? Looking forward to the next version
- (2025-03-26) KRUSHIT SAKARIA: Mia has been an absolute game-changer for my workflow. Its intuitive interface and smart features made day-to-day tasks smoother and more efficient. I especially appreciated how seamlessly it integrated into my routine without any learning curve. However, it recently stopped working unexpectedly, which has disrupted my experience a bit. I genuinely hope this is just a temporary glitch, because I’d love to continue using Mia as part of my daily toolkit. Are we coming back !!!!! Looking forward to the next update!!!!
- (2025-03-25) Ricardo Ruiz: Why is it not appearing anymore in chatgpt?
- (2025-02-04) Dustin Phillips: TURN OFF AUTO READ! Why does it always read the text! Jesus.
- (2025-02-03) User: censors cussing with no option turn off
- (2025-01-26) nazmul islam: Very nice and efficient extension
- (2025-01-15) lll zhang: Is it convenient to develop it into Windows input method software? I have been learning Japanese recently and have not been able to find a better Japanese voice input method on Windows
- (2025-01-08) Akiwhite So Yo: Network error for some unknown reason? I can't use it at all
- (2024-12-28) Nadejdik: Cool extention!
- (2024-12-05) Bastian Purrer: i love this extension! Only minor annoyance: different from other dictation systems, it doesn't recognize "period" or "line break". whatever i say, i haven't found a way that it doesn't print it as one uninterrupted sentence.
- (2024-11-30) Taylor Wolfe Marketing: It's mostly worked well, but lately it insists on reading responses outloud to me and it's driving me nuts. I can't make it stop unless I turn off the extension so please fix asap before I can trash this altogether.
- (2024-11-30) Ahmed Ibrahim: it works well the first day, but then it stopped working although I use the updated version of chrome ...disapointing
- (2024-11-28) Carol McKee: I use this extension to practice my spoken Spanish with ChatGPT, and it works extremely well. Initially, the extension had a hard time understanding what I was trying to say (understandable, given my terrible accent and pauses and self-corrections), so the transcriptions were bizarre, but as my fluency has improved, so have the transcriptions. Because I still pause frequently while I rack my brains trying to remember how to say something, I prefer to use Mia on the main page so the text isn't auto-submitted, but held until I click the button. However, I agree with the previous commenter that it would be nice if the voice response started as soon as the response text began to appear, and if it spoke the response automatically without having to push the button. If that's considered undesirable, then at least move the button to the top of the text so I can start click to start listening as soon as the response starts coming. But overall, I'm quite pleased with this extension. The Spanish accent is beautiful, and the voice is agreeable as well. I also just enabled to extension to work with Claude as well. The voice transcription is working, but it appears that on Claude there's no button to make the extension speak the response. Is that per design, or am I missing something?
- (2024-11-20) Mr Chike: Good but can get better. I love the fact that it gets your exact voice commands and also be able to speak to you when you click the voice output after text have been generated. I would give it a 10 stars if it speaks real time as text is being generated rather than waiting for the text to finish generating and then clicking on the speak out loud button. Now this would great in interaction. & if you can take it a step further and keep the loop to emulate a real time conversation. I would give it 1000 stars. I want to believe this feature is already in the pipeline. Wonderful idea i must confess.
- (2024-11-05) Muhammed Eshan: very bad speech recognition in laptop i don't know about mobile.
- (2024-10-30) Joe K: Well, so far it's a thumbs down. When I ask Mia something she just gets stuck in a thinking loop. She never comes out of thinking. She did a few times, but I could not hear her Then I heard her once. Now every time I ask her something. she just is stuck in thinking.
- (2024-10-28) Jose Carlos: Awesome extension. Congrats to the developers!!
- (2024-10-25) HKm NLm: Disappointed with the update—used to have voice responses, but now it only shows text, which makes it harder to use.
- (2024-10-23) ケネスリー ジメネズKennethlee Jimenez: 2024-10-23 Seems to be working now so went back and changed to 5 stars. Thank you
- (2024-10-21) onyx1176: It used to work well, now 99% of the time, the voice control icon is missing and if it's missing, I can't use it and it makes the extension completely worthless. This happened after the last major update, it's a shame it hasn't been fixed yet.
- (2024-10-10) Cristina Rexach: It was perfect and now is just disappearing after you close the first session.
- (2024-10-09) Black Bear: This was a 4.4/5 but then it hasn't worked for 24 hours.
- (2024-10-09) Efyss: it doesnt work 09/10/2024 plz fix it
- (2024-10-07) Samuel: This extension program conflicts with the “划词翻译” extension; both cannot be used simultaneously.
- (2024-10-06) Daymond Goulder-Horobin (Dragon): Was great when it worked, no longer works
- (2024-10-05) chao huang: the sofeware very good,it is usefully!
- (2024-10-02) Soumya Parida: Great product.
- (2024-09-30) Kistael Wang: he's stuck,just keep thinking and stop giving an answer

- (2024-09-26) H N: today the extention not working... there is not button to hear and speak ...all disappeared :(
- (2024-09-25) Murray Barnes: I was very excited about this extension and finally managed to get it to work for 1 day after mucking around for almost an hour and then the next day no matter what I try I cannot get it to work again... what a shame as if this worked fine I would even be happy to pay for it instead I have wasted a huge amount of time on this and got no where!
- (2024-09-25) 질문아이: same here as well. it suddenly stopped working and could not find any button. How does it work again?
- (2024-09-23) mike baillie: I LOVE this app -- but recently it's stopped transcribing my voice, so it's become useless. The Mic still seems to activate, but nothing gets transcribed into the conversation box. Using version 3.9.2
- (2024-09-23) Kev: This plug-in is super awesome, thank you putting it out there for free for everyone to utilize.
- (2024-09-21) Dan Nichols: Voice Control is a 10 star app, I would LOVE to pay to support this project. VC is an Absolute game changer for a medical student as it enables conversation with GPT at my pace, as compared to the unnatural flow of using the native GPT application for iOS or desktop. They improve it a lot with time, and I appreciate that it now allows function of both Voice Control and VoiceWave, the two go perfectly together as I enjoy the ability to prompt GPT via without use of the hands or eyes, I can simply speak and listen. Protip, if you add Global Speed extension, you can adjust the speed of playback much quicker, pause, and skip fwd/backward (also great for youtube or any video lecture). Very grateful to voice control, it really launched my studies forward. Thank you for sharing this amazing app for free and as I've said I would love to help contribute to show gratitude and support.
- (2024-09-20) Car Furnisher: When i type with voice it truches the text removing all new lines (it makes the text a single paragraph), it makes it unreadable please fix it also make it hard to understand for chat gpt as well
- (2024-09-19) Adam Attia: Amazing extension! thanks for fixing it!
- (2024-09-18) Sabah Najem: So far so good it works smoothly ! Just needs some functionalities for blind people such short keys to activate some buttons! I hope you add some short keys like pressing the ctrl key to activate the mic or pressing the ctrl again to deactivate and press other key to stop or resume speech!
- (2024-09-17) Ronan: It's working perfectly on Chrome and Edge after the update (September 2024). It was necessary to uninstall and install again. Thank you very much, Theis Frøhlich! It's a wonderful extension!
