This Woman Is The Real-Life Version Of The Indian Amazon Alexa

Today, with the development of smartphones, smart home devices, and voice assistant, you must have heard at least one assistant, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri. And you also probably know how these digital assistants can benefit our daily lives by helping us doing tasks inside the home to save us more time.

Among the three assistants, Alexa is the first, the most dynamic, and the most compatible. She can help you control everything around your house, including LED lights, electronic appliances, and so on. All you have to do is enable her with a wake word then make a voice command, she will then respond with a soft, electronic but comfortable voice and get things done for you.

However, have you ever asked yourself how we get that voice in the first place? We’ll talk about that later. But we have found a real human that sounds like the Indian Alexa.

A woman named Supriya Kapoor posted on her Instagram as she was responding to questions from a fellow RJ, using Alexa’s voice. Astonishingly, in all the answers, she sounded just like the assistant was talking.

Supriya Kapoor is a voice artist, who has voiced ads for multiple brands and shows. Since April last year, she has been working at 104.8 Ishq FM as a radio jockey. In the video, she skillfully intonates just like how Alexa normally does. She sounds as if she voices Alexa, but that’s not the case.

In fact, the assistant's voice is created using artificial intelligence where recorded voices of sounds and words are spliced then stitched together, forming words and sentences while making the right intonation as well as expression to make the voice sound more natural.

While Apple Siri was voiced by a real human, its sentences were created using the same technique.
