The Alexa assistant will speak as you want, how will you achieve it?

One of the things that users want to personalize much more precisely in the Alexa voice assistant is the way it speaks. Well, Amazon is working to achieve it and from what has been known, it has a new technology almost ready to make it possible quickly and easily. What we are talking about is that there is the possibility that the well-known voice assistant -which is present in all kinds of devices- sounds exactly like a brother or friend. The fact is that the company led by Jeff Bezos has indicated at a technological meeting (called re:MARS) held in the US that it has very advanced work so that Alexa is capable of copying practically all the voices it hears. This would obviously improve your customization options exponentially. How this new function of Alexa will be achieved As an engineer from the firm itself has indicated, what will have to be done is to listen for about a minute to the voice source that you want the assistant to use and, through the use of different voice conversion algorithms and Artificial Intelligence application, everything can be copied from the source so that Alexa can make use of this possibility. In other words, the dream of many would become a reality, since it will even be possible to simulate the voice of a grandmother reading a story (and, therefore, her youngest grandchildren will not miss out on this experience). Obviously, this may have certain legal implications in terms of privacy, but the truth is that the advance is interesting enough for the well-known online store to offer this possibility to users. In short, it seems that voice imitation is really already a possibility and, furthermore, as was seen in the meeting through a video with quite remarkable quality. Arrival of this function to Amazon products This is one of the things that has not been indicated, but it does not seem that the new technology that Amazon has will be rolled out to the end user any time soon. Apart from having to finish its development to make it fully functional, it is clear that certain legal barriers that may appear must be overcome (even in what has to do with security). What is completely certain is that, once this function for Alexa is deployed, it will be deployed on all devices that include the voice assistant independently. An example is the Echo Do speakers or the Fire TV players from the online store. The fact is that the idea that every time you want to do something with your voice, your brother or a well-known athlete answers you, it finally seems that it can become a reality. >
