Truecaller is proud to announce a partnership with Microsoft to
utilize the new Personal Voice technology from Microsoft Azure AI
Speech. Truecaller’s AI Assistant, first introduced Sep 2022,
already incorporates a multitude of AI technologies that can
automatically answer phone calls for you, screen calls, take
messages, respond on your behalf, or record the call for your later
viewing.

With the addition of Microsoft Azure AI Speech’s Personal Voice,
users of the Truecaller Assistant can now create a completely
digital version of their own voice to use inside the Assistant.
This means that if you already have Assistant on your Truecaller
app, you can have your callers hear a replicated and authentic
version of your voice instead of one of the many digital assistants
on offer. This is being rolled out gradually across all of
Truecaller’s markets.
Truecaller is the early access partner for Personal Voice and a
working demo for this new feature has just been showcased at the
Microsoft Build conference in Seattle. You can read about this on
Microsoft’s community hub here.
“By integrating Microsoft Azure AI Speech’s personal voice
capability into Truecaller, we've taken a significant step towards
delivering a truly personalized and engaging communication
experience. The personal voice feature allows our users to use
their own voice, enabling the digital assistant to sound just like
them when handling incoming calls. This groundbreaking capability
not only adds a touch of familiarity and comfort for the users but
also showcases the power of AI in transforming the way we interact
with our digital assistants.
“We're thrilled to collaborate with Microsoft on this exciting
project and leverage their expertise in text-to-speech and AI
technologies. The seamless integration process and the exceptional
support provided by the Microsoft team have been instrumental in
bringing this feature to life,” said Raphael Mimoun, Product
Director & General Manager, Truecaller Israel.
Thanks to Microsoft’s Azure AI, the personal voice feature will
revolutionize the way our users manage their calls and elevate
their overall experience with Truecaller Assistant. We look forward
to further exploring the potential of AI-powered voice technologies
in partnership with Microsoft and delivering even more innovative
solutions to our global user base.
