AI powered accent translation system to make Indians telemarketers sound less Indian
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-27/teleperformance-uses-ai-to-neutralize-workers-indian-accents

>“When you have an Indian agent on the line, sometimes it’s hard to hear, to understand,” Deputy-Chief Executive Officer Thomas Mackenbrock said in an interview with Bloomberg. The technology can “neutralize the accent of the Indian speaker with zero latency,” he said. This “creates more intimacy, increases the customer satisfaction, and reduces the average handling time: it is a win-win for both parties.”

Hello John Smith, it's nice to talk to a civilized human instead of a subhuman for a change. I really hope India and Pakistan are decimated by nuclear war.

Will they be able to understand me better too? Because that's at least half the problem.

Is it me or does it not get rid of the accent at all? It just makes it sound more robotic.

The guy's accent before isn't nearly as bad as the shit I usually hear on the phone. It is indecipherable. Can't what for AI to change the garble into some totally different sentence.

No. But when you scream into the phone that they've screwed up a simple instruction for the nth time, your voice will come through modulated so it doesn't hurt their feelings
