Truecaller, a Leading caller identification app has announced a partnership with Microsoft to utilise the new 'Personal Voice' technology from the tech giant's Azure AI Speech which will enable the users to create a digital version of their voice inside the AI Assistant.

Introduced in 2022, Truecaller's AI Assistant incorporates a multitude of AI technologies which could automatically answer phone calls for the user, respond on your behalf, take screen calls, take messages, or record the call for your later viewing.

In a statement Raphael Mimoun, Product Director and General Manager, Truecaller Israel, said, "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," he further added.

The addition of Microsoft's Personal Voice tech to Truecaller's AI Assistant means that if you already have an Assistant on your 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 feature is being rolled out gradually across all of Truecaller’s markets, the company said.
