Truecaller is introducing a new AI-powered personal voice feature that allows users to create a digital version of their own voice. This feature will greet users and specify the purpose of their call, enhancing the caller’s experience with the virtual assistant. The feature is powered by Microsoft’s Azure AI voice technology and aims to offer a personalized communication experience. Users can record their voice for a few seconds to set up the AI assistant to use their own voice when answering calls.
With the personal voice feature, users can customize the caller’s greeting template while ensuring that it is clear they are interacting with a digital version of the user’s voice. Microsoft Azure has implemented a watermark on personal voice recordings to prevent potential audio misuse. Raphael Mimoun, product director and general manager of Truecaller Israel, described the feature as a significant advancement in providing a personalized and engaging communication experience. He emphasized that using one’s own voice for the digital assistant adds familiarity and convenience for users, showcasing the transformative power of AI in enhancing interactions with digital assistants.
To access the personal voice feature, users can navigate to the settings menu within Truecaller Assistant and select the personal voice option. The feature will initially be available to paid users through a public beta launch in India, the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Chile over the next few weeks. This new feature aims to revolutionize how users interact with Truecaller’s AI assistant by incorporating their unique voice into call responses, elevating the user experience and personalization of virtual interactions.
