Truecaller Launches AI-Powered Call Recording Feature For Indian Users

Caller identification app Truecaller has announced the launch of its AI-powered call recording feature in India for iOS and Android users. 

The company said in a statement that the new feature will enable the users to record incoming and outgoing calls directly within the Truecaller app, offering a convenient and efficient way to capture and manage important conversations.

Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Truecaller’s MD and chief product officer, said, “We are constantly innovating cutting-edge solutions that enhance communication. As we continue to push these boundaries, we are thrilled to announce our AI-enabled Call Recording solution, which has always been a highly requested user feature.”

He further added that such features are aimed at offering customers greater control and flexibility in managing their conversations, and it is also a very valuable tool for both personal and professional purposes.

The iOS users will be offered an option to record the call after answering it. This will call the recording line, which is a special number provided by Truecaller, and the user will get the option to merge the call. Once the call is over, the user will receive a push notification. 

Truecaller will store the recording on local devices for iOS users, while giving them the option to store it on iCloud, providing an extra layer of security.

On the other hand, Android users will be able to record the calls on Truecaller by just tapping the record button during the call. Once the call ends, a push notification will alert users when the recording and transcription are ready.

The new feature will be available as a part of the brand’s Premium plan, starting at INR 75 per month or INR 529 per year. While the feature is being rolled out across iOS and Android, it currently supports transcriptions only in English and Hindi. 

The service was previously launched in the US, and additional markets and languages will follow.

According to the company, the latest integration of AI into the newly launched call recording feature marks a significant leap forward, allowing for a detailed transcription of the entire phone call, along with an AI-generated call summary.
