Anyone know if ANY of the AI chat options for iOS will speak & listen
(for free without a login required)?
 
I'm trying to help an older person who can't see well, where I installed
the iOS ChatGPT and it won't install on my iPad (it hates the VPN).
 
If not for free, and if a privacy-tracking login is required, that is the
worst-case scenario, but she'll probably go for that too if it's required.
 
Does anyone know if the iOS 18 built-in AI will speak & listen?

I tested the official ChatGPT (white icon) in the App Store on my iPad
but it does not listen nor speak directly, plus it tracks every query.

However, it can use the microphone to do speech to text (which works).
And it can use Text To Speech to speak out the words (with effort).

But it's not direct, either way.

Does anyone know if there's an AI app for iOS that speaks/listens?
Or, does anyone know if the iOS 18 chat will be direct both ways?
