Samsung allows you to clone users' voices with new AI feature

The use of Artificial Intelligence (IA) in new technologies and resources is on the rise in the market. This time, the Samsung, considered one of the Android companies that updates devices the most today, launched a new feature with AI solutions, o Bixby Custom Voice Creator.

This is an update to your Bixby mobile assistant that allows you to clone the voice of cell phone users during calls. Developed for when the person cannot answer the call, the feature artificially reproduces the cloned voice. For that, the person must respond to the call by sending a text message.

The solution would be a practical way to maintain contact while the person is in an environment that requires silence, like meetings, lectures or hospitals. The version, nonetheless, is only available in South Korea and is exclusive to Galaxy S23 models, S23 e S23 Ultra.

How the technology works?

Samsung and Bixby technology promises to reproduce even the user's tone of voice. To reproduce this, the mobile assistant will ask the smartphone owner to record a few phrases. After an analysis using AI methodology, the voice can be reproduced by sending information via text.

Samsung will make the feature available for other communication apps besides the usual phone calls, like WhatsApp, for example. Although the update is limited to users in South Korea, Samsung says it will soon expand the feature to other countries. Brazil would also be included in this list.

Bixby Text Call

Beyond voice technology, Samsung also launched Bixby Text Call only for English-speaking customers. This is a new feature that allows you to transform voice calls into texts. In this case, there is no voice simulating the user's speech and mannerisms.

But, in technology, the person writes a message by answering the call from anywhere and the message is converted into a generic voice. The feature is not considered that innovative, although, It is very practical for everyday life.

Bixby Text Call is not available on the same phone models as Bixby Custom Voice Creator. This second functionality is compatible with Galaxy S23 smartphone models, Z Fold e Z Flip 4 only in United States territory.
