Not even the Robinson list is preventing spam calls from being received continuously and not even the technology giants are finding a suitable solution. Truecaller and Microsoft have created incredible technology that clones the user’s voice to answer calls and thus takes charge of replacing the user as if it were their ‘digital self’.
Two days ago, Microsoft announced a plethora of innovations related to AI to innovate in different fields and follow in the wake left days ago by Google at I/O 2024 and by OpenAI with its new GPT-4o. Artificial intelligence has been common in some innovations in the last year so that Windows 11 can imitate the user’s voice or the Eleven Labs project.
Truecaller is an app that identifies and blocks spam calls that users receive. It has now updated the app so that users can use its artificial intelligence assistant to clone their voice. It has partnered with Microsoft’s Azure AI Speech, the technology that is responsible for recording the audio clip to generate the AI version of the user’s voice.

Raphael Mimoun, Product Manager at Truecaller, explains that this incredible capability not only adds a touch of familiarity and comfort to usersbut rather shows the power of artificial intelligence to transform how users interact with their digital assistants.
Truecaller’s AI assistant experience is based on displaying the incoming call and the reason for it on the screen. The user reads it on the screen and can choose to respond either answer it yourself or have the assistant answer it.
With Azure AI Speech from Microsoft
An experience similar to what Samsung gives in its flagships with Galaxy AI and Google in its Pixels, although with the special touch that Truecaller clones the user’s voice so that the response is made by the artificial intelligence be closer and more personalized.
Is like the voicemail in which the response is recorded, but with the value offered by having AI respond naturally. In this sense, Truecaller launched the assistant in 2022 and has allowed the use of a wide variety of default voices, the only thing that is now customized to another level.

Azure AI Speech, present at Microsoft’s Build 2024 these days, is a spectacular technology for recording the user’s voice and replicating it, although the technology giant has made it very clear from its blog that is limited to a series of specific uses as would Truecaller with his assistant.
Another important aspect of this technology, according to The Vergeis that Microsoft automatically adds a watermark to generated voices with Azure AI Speech, as well as a code of conduct that users must consent to be recorded and thus prohibit identity theft.
