In India, Amazon has added Amitabh Bachchan's voice to Alexa; here's how it works.

“Amit Ji, please tell me a joke.”

Instead of contacting Alexa, Echo owners will be able to instruct Mr. Amitabh Bachchan to meet their digital wants. All you have to do is ask Alexa to connect you with Amitabh Bachchan, but there is a catch. To add Big B's famous voice to your Alexa-enabled devices and applications, you must pay an initial yearly membership fee of Rs. 149.

Following the inclusion of Bachchan's voice, users may summon the voice by using the wake phrase "Amit Ji." As a result, as a user, you will be able to request that “Amit Ji” play a song from the film Kabhie Kabhie. He will not only perform the song but will also reveal an intriguing behind-the-scenes detail. You may even request that Bachchan Ji crack a joke or wish you a happy birthday in his trademark way.

According to Amazon, Bachchan's voice, like the normal Alexa voice, is powered by AI algorithms. As a result, the voice will become more customized as you engage with it more. It makes use of deep learning and neural network-based models, as well as text-to-speech technology (TTS).
