On the other hand, Samsung highlights the voice customization of Bixby Text Call. Custom Voice Creator is the name given to this feature that takes some samples of our voice to replicate it, AI will be able to simulate both voice and pitch. It’s something similar to what we saw on Skype a few weeks ago, so again, Spanish-speaking users will have to be patient. This feature is reserved for the company’s home country, i.e. it is only available in Korean.
Another small feature is the wake word, which can be customized in the settings of this voice assistant. But without a doubt, Bixby’s biggest change comes from changing its role. It will go from an intelligent assistant to an intelligent platform, according to Samsung.

Last but not least, voice recognition has been improved and now it will work too offline, without needing to be connected to the Internet. The Korean company has integrated AI into its devices with the native applications that are installed by default on these computers.
