I will have to check this out. iOS 26 now has an action called Use Model, where you can use your OpenAI ChatGPT account to complete AI tasks like describe images or chat with ChatGPT based on Shortcuts input. I wonder if this app has other OpenAI options like text to speech as well.

I believe this app only supports images and PDF's for multimodal inputs and text/image generation for output, but it does support both OpenAI and Anthropic API's, so it could still be a good supplement to that native action.
It returns its answer as either text or image, so you could pipe that to a TTS action if you like, though that won't replicate something like OpenAI Voice.
Unfortunately i'm still on an older device, so I don't have Apple's baked in ChatGPT support, even though that limitation is entirely artificial (pun intended).
