#Issue using OpenAI.fm - Redirected to GitHub Page?

I confess: I just started using OpenAI (Free...for now) 3 days ago. I am trying to vibe code an AAC application for a friend who would benefit from a faster system than E-Z Keys (Stephen Hawking used to use it.) An AAC system needs a voice and I heard about OpenAI.fm from YouTube videos. I expected the URL to take me to a website that can test the voices, like the YouTube video says but it takes me to a GitHub page and tells me to install it. I was thumbing through the API Documentation on the platform and was logged in. Does OPpnAI.fm think that I am a developer and that's why it took me to its GitHub page?

Hi @steel quarry. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

OpenAI.fm is an interactive demo site for trying the latest text‑to‑speech voices (like alloy, coral, etc.). The official docs simply say:

“Hear and play with these voices in OpenAI.fm, our interactive demo for trying the latest text-to-speech model in the OpenAI API.” [Text to speech]

However, the knowledge sources you provided do not explain:

  • Why you’re being redirected to a GitHub page, or
  • Whether OpenAI.fm behaves differently for free vs. paid users, or
  • Any logic about “detecting” you as a developer.

So I’m sorry, but there’s no information in the docs about this redirect behavior or any requirement to install something to use OpenAI.fm.

Given what we have:

  • OpenAI.fm is intended as a browser demo for testing voices. [Text to speech]
  • The docs don’t mention any GitHub-only experience or special handling based on your account type.

If the redirect persists, your best next step is to contact support via the chat bubble at help.openai.com, describe that openai.fm is sending you to GitHub instead of an in‑browser demo, and include your browser/device details so they can check if it’s a configuration or access issue.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
