Perusahaan Caller ID Truecaller akan memungkinkan pengguna membuat versi AI dari suara mereka untuk menjawab panggilan.
Truecaller adalah aplikasi yang mengidentifikasi dan memblokir panggilan spam yang lebih disukai sebagian orang daripada sistem bawaan ponsel mereka. Kini layanan tersebut akan memungkinkan pengguna dengan akses ke Asisten AI-nya untuk merekam suara mereka. Perusahaan tersebut bermitra dengan Azure AI Speech milik Microsoft, yang akan belajar dari klip yang direkam untuk menghasilkan versi AI dari suara pengguna.
“Kemampuan inovatif ini tidak hanya menambah sentuhan keakraban dan kenyamanan bagi pengguna, tetapi juga menunjukkan kekuatan AI dalam mengubah cara kita berinteraksi dengan asisten digital kita,” kata direktur produk dan manajer umum Truecaller Raphael Mimoun dalam posting blog tersebut.
Truecaller’s AI Assistant screens incoming calls and lets users know why they are calling. Customers can see the reason for the call and can choose how to respond, either by picking up the phone or having the assistant answer for them. The Assistant, only available in select countries, was first introduced on the Truecaller app in 2022.
Users have always been able to choose from a preset number of voices to represent them, and the company says letting users record their own voices is a step in personalizing the service even more.
Azure AI Speech, showcased during the Build conference, added a personal voice feature that lets people record and replicate voices. Microsoft says in a blog post, however, that personal voice is available on a limited basis and only for specific use cases like voice assistants.
Microsoft says it automatically adds watermarks to voices generated by Azure AI Speech’s personal voice. It also released a code of conduct requiring users to get the full consent of people being recorded and prohibit impersonation.
It remains to be seen how well personal voice will perform against your own voicemail message.
