Alexa Will Soon Answer You In Amitabh Bachchan's Voice

Amazon virtual assistant Alexa will soon have its first Indian voice.

The company recently announced its plan to partner with Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan to offer Indians a unique celebrity voice experience.

Here is what Country Leader for Alexa Puneesh Kumar:

Users in India will be able to converse with Alexa and ask for help, in response, the assistant will answer in Amitabh Bachchan’s voice. The feature is set to come out next year.

However, the experience isn’t for everyone. Specifically, it will be available for those who purchase the Amitabh Bachchan voice experience.

According to Bloomberg, Amazon will use neural speech technology to mimic Amitabh Bachchan’s voice, which means the actor doesn’t need to record every word.

Google used the same strategy when it introduced John Legend’s voice for Google Assistant.

The actor’s voice will be used to keep users up to date with the weather, give advices, and motivational quotes, along with other functions.
