KinVoice

About

Alexa-based Al-generated cloned voice user interface

The voices of traditional virtual assistants are not considered persuasive or credible due to their unfamiliarity

KinVoice synthesises the voices of friends and family, integrating them into VUIs (voice user inter-faces) such as Alexa, to create a virtual assistant, giving the user a more convincing and agreeable listening experience, which they are more likely to pay attention to.
