Hear our voice in another language; Microsoft with voice cloning

Just say what you have to say in your own language. It can be heard in the same voice in any language. The facility for that is coming up. The cloning system, which fixed the language barrier, will be released by Microsoft in the New Year. In the first phase, a system will be set up to communicate with customers abroad via video call. If it succeeds, it will be brought on other platforms as well.

Voice cloning can be used on apps including Google Meet and Zoom. Microsoft's real-time AI (Artificial Intelligence) assistant will translate the language. Microsoft says the information will not be lost and only what is said will be translated. The emotion and style of the person speaking will not be captured. During the meeting, the team leader can turn off the cloning system in the settings. The service will be available for Microsoft 365 customers at first.

Will fraudsters misuse it?

Microsoft does not store customer information as part of the voice cloning system. However, there are concerns that the fraudsters may misuse voice cloning. The decision to launch the open AI voice cloning system was dropped due to this. Most of the people who buy bank details and passwords through social media and sell them on the dark web are from other states. Voice cloning may also be misused for frauds, including virtual arrests.

"This will help in overcoming the barriers of language. It is also possible to be deceived. Consumers should be vigilant against this."
