Truecaller is working with microsoft to significantly improve its existing artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. As part of this collaboration, Caller ID leverages Microsoft Azure’s artificial intelligence voice capability called Personal Voice.
It integrates with an AI assistant to provide a user-like voice while the AI makes calls and responses on your behalf. The feature launches today and will initially be available in select countries. The company confirmed that the feature will be rolling out to more countries soon.
Truecaller announced the news in a forum post, saying: “With the addition of Microsoft’s Personal Voice, Truecaller users can now create a fully digital version of their voice for use in the Assistant.” It’s worth noting that the Artificial Intelligence Assistant is powered by this one Company first launched in September 2022. Voice-based chatbots offer multiple features such as screening calls, answering calls, and even receiving messages from users. Similar to voicemail, you can record calls and listen to them later.
Although this is a useful feature, Truecaller has limited the number of voices available to its AI assistant. This way, when someone calls, one of these selected tones will be heard before the user picks up the phone. But hearing a stranger’s voice can surprise the caller. App developers are solving this problem by introducing Personal Voice, which allows people to use their voice for AI assistants.
The feature is rolling out to Truecaller Premium users in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Sweden and Chile. The company said it will soon expand to other regions.
