Truecaller can now answer calls with your voice using AI

The Truecaller app will use artificial intelligence (AI) to transcribe your voice and answer calls for you. Powered by Microsoft Azure AI Speech, the tool will complement the app’s AI Assistant, but now responds to calls convincingly.

AI opening in September 2022 Truecaller Assistant answers calls to your phone and when you can’t talk at that moment, it asks questions for you by writing down the most important things in that conversation. The tool also helps you avoid spam or unwanted calls.

With Azure AI Speech, AI Assistant goes even further: the tool will now use AI to create a digital copy of the user’s voice, making interaction more natural. The functionality was demonstrated at the Microsoft Build conference this week.

According to Truecaller, new feature gives the assistant more personality“sounds realistic” and makes call management easier.

Just like Artificial Intelligence Assistant, new feature is exclusive to Truecaller Premium subscribers. The package costs $10.99 per quarter (about R$56.60 at the current price).

To work, the user must go through the initial setup process of the wizard. The function is available in the settings menu of the application.

Unfortunately The function is only available for some countriesand it is unclear whether it is limited to certain languages. According to Trecaller, the digitized voice AI Assistant is available in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Sweden and Chile.

There are no plans to expand to more countries for now. However Truecaller states that the new feature will reach more markets soon.
