  • The Oxygen OS 15 update brings several AI features from OnePlus’ AI Toolkit to existing devices.
  • These features include AI Speak, AI Summary, and AI Writer, and they join the new AI Reply feature as part of AI Toolbox 2.0.
  • OnePlus technically debuted these three AI features in Oxygen OS 14.1, so a few devices have them already.

Every major tech company is infusing its products with AI features these days, and OnePlus is no different. Just this week, OnePlus unveiled its latest OxygenOS 15 software, which packs a number of AI tricks like reflection removal, unblurring, detail boosting, and more. The Oxygen OS 15 update also expands the availability of three of OnePlus’ existing AI features — AI Speak, AI Summary, and AI Writer — to more devices.

AI Speak is a simple feature that reads articles out loud in either a male or female voice. It’s a bit like the read-aloud feature in Google Chrome, except it works with other web browsers like Firefox as well as with news apps like Google News. In the AI Speak window, you can change voices, restart playback from the beginning, move to the previous or next sentence, or adjust the playback speed between 0.5X, 1X, 1.5X, or 2.0X. You can minimize the window into a tiny pill that floats on the right side of the screen by tapping either the close button or by swiping down on the handle at the top. The pill can be moved up or down but not left or right, and it can be dismissed by tapping the X icon, which also ends playback.
