Hey!
I am actually very surprized why nobody seems to talk about this over here. The openai livestream topic is too big so maybe I missed some comments about that there.
So I have been trying chatgpt for mac since a couple of days and noticed a few things.
First, with very very long thread, I was consistently getting snr with apple's best browser everyone hate here because of the screen reader, for obvious good reason when gpt was generating the answer. This is no longer an issue with the app.
With coding, the app is incredibly well made and respect most of apple macos accessibility thing, as I can just interact in what voiceover labels as code block (or something like that). Then, after level 1 in code block, vo will read everything and vo right places the cursor to the copy button which copy the code. Level 2 in code block and I can read that code with vo arrows as any other texts. Generally the app is quite smooth, the only very annoying bug is that when I am moving too quickly between prompts (mine and chat gpt ones) vo will say x element selected and I just have to slow down a bit and this is generally solved.
Please let me know your experience, for me for a first week launch the accessibility is more than what I was expecting. Looking forward to the screenshot feature and all my privacy gone! 😂 I hope vocr won't get killed :)

This is really good to know…
This is really good to know. I was wondering how it would work with voiceover. I've not yet got access but now look forward to it.
Also, just a suggestion, if you change your subject line to include that this is Chat GPT for Mac it makes things slightly easier for everyone to find. :)
It's already there
Chat GPT app on MacOS :)
Okay okay... It was early,…
Okay okay... It was early, pre coffeee.
thanks
:)
This is just the best app ever
Okay. Just discovered something completly unexpected but so welcome!
Basically the area where both user and ai prompts are shown is a big collection with each element within it being either user or ai response. Then, if you interact twice in any of the prompts/answer, you have the same text interface where all basic macos text commands work like in volama. Which means, for my big excitement, that although voiceover can't read math content directly, you will still hear the attachment sounds, but with a simple select copy and pasting in textedit for example the law latex content will be displaied. Same thing for code you can just interact at the right of the copy button and read or copy the code as a regular text field.
App?
Not finding any apps for ChatGPT in the App Store for MacOS
It's not in the mac appstore…
It's not in the mac appstore, you get it from the open ai/chat gpt site though it is still rolling out. I've not yet got it. I'm not sure if that's because I'm in the UK though. Annoying if so. I'm still paying. :)
how can I find that?
hey, even i'm interested to try on my mac, i'm trying to find it on store, but there are many with the same name. could you mind dropping a link of that here?
thanks.
It's not on the mac app…
It's not on the mac app store, it's only officially available through the Open AI site. You'll only be able to download if you are a plus subscriber and it has rolled out to you. The roll out is being rather slow. Anything you get on the mac app store is unofficial.
There is a way of downloading elsewhere if you don't yet have it in your account but there isn't any point unless your plus account has been upgraded to use it. Another case of hurry up and wait from Open AI.
Okay, got this working now…
Okay, got this working now.
Is there any way to have the output automatically voiced, IE, get voiceover to watch the output field? Moving back and forth is a bit of a pain.
I don't think so
I just use my judgment and read the output. Honestly this app is much more comfortable than the web interface and at least aI can avoid safari does not respond when in very long threads while it's generating the answer. And how voiceover act with code blocks is just awesome, same thing with latex. Haven't tested tables or other but the bullet lists are fine.
Your judgement?
Your judgement?
How do you know you have access?
How do you know when you have access?
I've heard from other sources that it's a popup you get after logging' into the site.
Is this the case and if so, does voiceover read it out?
I am excited to try it out.
Yes and yes
I had the popup at the begining of last week or so, it was on windows first though and then I open the website on my mac and it offered me to download the app.
Seems to now be available for all
I don't subscribe to chat gpt and I can now download the app for the Mac.
Seems OK
Once I stopped trying to use it like Skype and realised that "Collection" was where the chats were and I was just going to have to put my hatred of things that just say "Collection" to one side, and once I re-read the comments above, actually it seems like a big improvement over the web interface. No "button button button" here.
I wanted to use VO's navigate to text box like I do in Skype, but I can get used to Option+Space or just using VO to get to the right place.
My initial attempt to copy the code involved going into Collection then VO+Shift+M then Copy, but this doesn't seem to do anything. VO's copy last utterance works, but the tip above or interacting again and finding copy was better.
So initial impression was "hate it" then read the OP, tried again and actually once you know what to do I reckon it will be pretty damn good. Will try to use this instead of Skype's Co-pilot for a bit and see how I get on.
Very good interface
compared to the web version. I don't remember exactly for code but it's basically a read only text field with its answer and your previous prompts so the standard macos text commands works, going as far as copying the math embed that VO is unable to read anywhere but on the web into clipboard as laTek code. That's awesome.
My experience
Hey everyone,
I downloaded the official ChatGPT app for macOS on Wednesday. The accessibility is great, but to be honest I’ve mainly been using voice mode more than text mode. I never got a pop-up telling me to download it, I just went on the Toms guide website, just to randomly check out what was new and then I saw the chatgpt app was officially available, because they were talking about it.
