Grok, an AI assistant developed by xAI, announced today that its highly anticipated voice mode has been officially opened to all users. This update not only brings 11 unique voice interaction modes (including 2 18+ restricted modes), but also adds voice subtitles, which are called "a good tool for learning English" by users. The news spread rapidly on the X platform, causing widespread excitement and discussion.
According to the latest updates on X, Grok's voice mode was previously limited to Premium+ and SuperGrok subscription users and is now available to all users for free. xAI said in its official statement that the update aims to allow more people to experience Grok's diverse interactive capabilities. X user excitedly wrote in a post on March 4: "Grok's voice mode is now open to all users, with 11 modes (including 2 18), and the experience is greatly improved!"
The 11 modes opened this time include "Storyteller" (storyteller), "Unhinged" (unhinged), etc. Two of the 18+ modes - "Unhinged" and "Sexy" - are particularly eye-catching because of their bold interaction methods. The former is known for its intense squirting, while the latter attracts users with its flirting style. These modes allow users to choose different AI personalities according to their needs, greatly enhancing the fun and personalization of interaction.
Another highlight of the new version of the voice mode is the newly added voice subtitle function. Grok not only allows conversations in a smooth tone that is almost human, but also generates English subtitles in real time to help users better understand content. X user said in the post: "The upgrade comes with voice subtitles function, which is a good tool for learning English, hahaha." This function is particularly practical for English learners. Combined with the diverse expressions of 11 modes, users can improve their listening and speaking skills through immersive dialogue.
Although the current voice mode only supports English, the community still responds enthusiastically to this. Some users say that its fluency and emotional expression are comparable to OpenAI's ChatGPT voice mode, becoming a convenient tool for English learning.
The X community is enthusiastic about feedback from this update. Users shared experiences in multiple modes, saying that it is "not only fun, but also practical." However, some voices pointed out the limitations of language support: "But it is still only supported in English, and I hope to add Chinese in the future!" xAI previously promised to iterate the Grok function quickly, and language expansion may be the next focus.
Musk once previewed on X that Grok's voice mode will continue to be optimized. On February 24, he posted that the new version of the application "has undergone major improvements in voice functions" and encouraged users to try it out. This time, the subtitle function is opened and added to all users, showing the importance xAI attaches to user experience.
The Grok voice mode is open to all users, and it is unveiled with 11 diverse modes and voice subtitles, which not only enhances entertainment, but also provides new options for English learners. Judging from the enthusiastic response on X, this update has successfully ignited user enthusiasm. Although it is currently only supported in English, Grok is standing out in the field of AI with its innovative interactive methods, and future developments are worth looking forward to.
