Samsung has announced a new feature for Bixby that creates an AI-generated copy of a user’s voice to answer calls. This new “Custom Voice Creator” allows users to record different sentences for Bixby to analyze and create an AI-generated copy of their tone and voice. The feature is currently only available in Korean on Galaxy S23 series devices. Here are the details…
Bixby’s AI-generated voice feature enables call answering for Samsung users
The Custom Voice Creator is designed to let users use their AI-generated voice to answer phone calls when they are unable to do so themselves. If a user can’t answer a phone call, they can use the feature to type out a sentence that will be read out to the caller in their own voice. Samsung plans to make the feature compatible with other Samsung capabilities beyond phone calls in the future.
In addition, Samsung has also announced that its Bixby Text Call feature, which transforms voice calls into written text, now supports calls in English. The feature initially launched last year in Korean and allows users to answer calls by typing a message that Bixby will then read out loud to the caller. Text Call can also transcribe what the caller says. The feature is available on Galaxy S23 devices, the Z Fold 4 and the Z Flip 4. Samsung is also rolling out the ability for users to customize Bixby’s wake-up phrase into whatever they want. The voice assistant can now also play music depending on the type of exercise that is playing on Samsung Health.
“Now, Bixby can better understand intent and process follow-up requests by understanding context and associating words previously used in interactions,” the company wrote in a blog post. “For example, Bixby users can first launch a workout on Samsung Health and then ask Bixby to play music that best suits that exercise by saying “Play music for this workout.”
Furthermore, Samsung has expanded the things that Bixby can do offline, such as setting a timer, taking a screenshot, or turning on the flashlight. This move towards offline functionality allows users to access Bixby’s capabilities even when they are not connected to the internet.
The introduction of the Custom Voice Creator feature for Bixby represents a significant step towards making AI-generated voices more accessible and personal. While the feature is currently limited to the Galaxy S23 series devices in Korean, Samsung plans to make it available to more users in the future.
