To enhance the hands-free communication experience for its Galaxy smartphone users in India, Samsung has introduced the innovative Bixby Text Call feature. This groundbreaking feature empowers users to seamlessly manage incoming calls by delegating them to Samsung's intelligent voice assistant, Bixby. Embracing the convenience of text-based interactions, Bixby Text Call enables users to effortlessly engage in phone conversations without the need for traditional voice calls.
Revolutionizing phone interactions, the Bixby Text Call feature on select Galaxy devices allows users to respond to incoming calls using Bixby's automated voice. Users can effortlessly craft personalized responses by typing their messages or selecting from pre-set quick response options. Bixby will then seamlessly convey these messages to the caller, facilitating convenient and hands-free communication.
Activating the Bixby Text Call feature unveils a convenient option for responding to incoming calls. When a call arrives, users can effortlessly select the Bixby Text Call option to initiate a hands-free conversation. Upon choosing this method, the caller is informed that the user is employing an automated voice response.
As the conversation unfolds, the user will observe a transcribed version of the caller's responses displayed on the phone screen. Users can conveniently respond using either pre-configured quick responses or by typing their personalized messages. Bixby will then relay these messages to the caller, ensuring seamless communication.
Seamlessly Transition to Voice Calls: Users can effortlessly switch to a traditional voice call during a Bixby Text Call conversation by simply tapping the voice call icon.
Recordings of Bixby Text Call conversations are stored within the Phone app, allowing users to revisit the interactions at their convenience.
