Qwen has announced the addition of a new " Read Replies " feature to Qwen Chat , powered by Qwen3-TTS speech synthesis. Users can tap the speaker icon below any reply on the web, iOS, or Android app to start reading. Alternatively, they can select their preferred voice (e.g., "Cherry" ) in Settings → General → Voice . Officials emphasize that this update aims for more natural and stable voice expression and multi-language coverage, making it suitable for scenarios such as commuting, accessible reading, and presentations.
Documentation and product pages indicate that Qwen3-TTS currently offers multiple voices and supports multiple languages and dialects, with an open API for developers. This integration with Qwen Chat lowers the barrier to entry for voice input, enabling direct voice playback of long answers and multi-turn conversations, enhancing the mobile and desktop user experience.
