INTRODUCTION
Imagine pressing a button located below phone 3’s power button which summons Nothing AI. The navigation bar enlarges ,divides into two equal half’s which then move to the middle of the screen creating two eyes. The eyes symbolize Nothing AI and react according to the tasks given to it. After hearing it speak, you don’t feel like you’re talking to a computer. The voice is warm, clear and it sounds familiar which makes it more soothing to the ears. That’s because it was created using various and vital characteristics of your voice as the foundation .
*YOUR FAVORITE VOICE IS YOUR OWN.*
Humans often like the sound of their own voice more than others’ due to the way we hear it. When we speak, we hear our voice through both air conduction (sound traveling through the air) and bone conduction (vibrations passing through the skull). Bone conduction deepens the sound, making it fuller and richer, which is why we perceive our voice as more pleasant. Others, however, hear only the air-conducted sound, which can sound higher-pitched and thinner which is generally not as pleasant or as emotion inducing.
This difference leads to discomfort when we hear a recording of our voice, as it lacks the depth created by bone conduction. The recorded version sounds unfamiliar and often less pleasant because it only captures the air-conducted sound, which is not what we’re accustomed to.
CREATING THE VOICE OF NOTHING AI
Audio editing can mitigate this issue by enhancing the sound of a voice. Techniques like boosting lower frequencies, adding warmth, and reducing harsh tones can make a recording sound fuller and closer to what we hear internally. These adjustments make the voice sound more familiar and appealing, leading many people to find edited versions of their voice more satisfying than unaltered ones.
CONCLUSION
I suggest that when the user first interacts with NOTHING AI, the phone should use his or her voice and edit it according to the users stated preferences. For example, if the user says that “ I like kind and comforting friends”, then warmth should be added to to voice. But remember to amplify the low frequencies which replace the bone conducted sounds.
