Amazon Alexa celebrity voices feature: If you use Amazon Alexa, then you are going to see a big change. Amazon has announced the closure of the celebrity voice feature on Alexa. Which means that celebrities like megastar Amitabh Bachchan, American actor Samuel L Jackson, former American basketball player Shaquille O’Neal will not be seen on the voices. The feature is being shut down globally, with Amazon set to turn off celebrity voices on Alexa-powered devices in the coming days.
While buying Bachchan’s voice on Alexa, the page says this feature is no longer available for purchase, but users who bought it last year will be able to use it for 1 year from the date of purchase.
These people can still use the feature
When purchasing Jackson’s voice for Alexa, the page states that the Personality voice for Alexa is no longer available for purchase, and that users who purchased this voice can continue to use it for the time being.
Jackson was the first voice to be introduced and used to tell jokes and stories to the users and answer questions. Celebrity Voices, which debuted in 2019, uses Amazon’s neural text-to-speech model. Its purpose is to give more sound. In 2020, the feature arrived in India and Bachchan became the first celebrity voice for Alexa in the country.
