Truecaller will soon be able to mimic your voice

If you’re looking for a way to deal with spam calls, Truecaller is a pretty good option. The company has been keeping up with the times by introducing AI features to it. Now it looks like Truecaller is getting another AI upgrade where the app can mimic your voice when answering calls.

This is thanks to Truecaller’s partnership with Microsoft. They will be using the new Personal Voice technology from Microsoft Azure AI Speech and integrating it into its AI Assistant. With the introduction of this feature, Truecaller users can train the Truecaller Assistant with their voice, ultimately allowing it to mimic them in the future.

So what does this mean for users? Basically when answering a call on behalf of users, it will sound more “natural”. Previously, users could only choose from pre-set digital voices. Truecaller says that they will still inform the caller that they are speaking with a digital version of the user, so it’s not as if you are going to fool anyone.

The idea of using AI to speak on our behalf isn’t new. Some of you might recall that a few years ago, Google introduced a similar feature where Google Assistant could help make reservations or stay on the line on behalf of users.
