WhatsApp has recently reported the development of a feature that helps select the Meta AI voice based on the mimic of famous personalities for future version releases of the application. Currently, WhatsApp is trying to implement the feature for selecting the Meta AI voice.
This Meta AI voice feature will enable the users to choose from the variety of the voices of Meta AI making the interaction with the chatbot more friendly. Although the voice chat mode seems to be in the works for a while, luckily, it appears that WhatsApp is committed to making this feature even further before the launch, working on the selection of the voice for Meta AI.
In the screenshot shared officially, it can be seen that WhatsApp is testing numerous voice options for the Meta AI, promising to roll them out in the update of the application in the future. For the United Kingdom, there will be three different dials that will have different pitches in their voices while for the United States of America, there will be two dials that will have different tones of voice.
Meta AI voice feature in WhatsApp
People will be able to choose for Meta AI a specific timbre of the voice. This accent may be typical for a certain region, or, in general, a voice that will be most appropriate to one’s preference and, therefore, the conversation with the chatbot will be as friendly as possible. Also, such performers, or public personalities instead, will be four ones whose identity is still not revealed up to now: Apart from that, there will be four voices of some common public images.
This selection provides the users with an opportunity to select a voice that they are comfortable with or a voice that they think will inspire them because of the voice’s relation to a particular figure. For instance, if a user desires a UK accent, he or she is free to select one of the UK voices; if a user has a preference for an American accent, then the latter has two options to select from. The use of public figures can also make conversations during interaction with Meta AI more pleasant and interesting, as a user will be able to hear familiar voices or voices of some heroes.
When can we expect it to arrive?
Of course, it is necessary to point out that, as this Meta AI voice feature is still in development, voices in other languages besides the English language are not likely to be supported at the start. When the feature gradually advances and while WhatsApp perfects the feature before it reaches its broader public, other voices in other languages may also appear to increase the convenience while using the application for people all over the world in the future.
