  • Apparatus and method for processing an audio input recording to obtain a processed audio recording to address privacy issues
    Patent number: 11887587
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing an audio input recording to obtain a processed audio recording according to an embodiment is provided. The apparatus comprises an input interface (110) for receiving a plurality of audio input portions of the audio input recording. Moreover, the apparatus comprises a processor (120) for processing a plurality of audio input portions of the audio input recording to obtain a processed audio recording. The processor (120) is configured to determine, whether or not an audio input portion of the plurality of audio input portions comprises speech. If the processor (120) has detected that the audio input portion comprises speech, the processor (120) is configured to generate the processed audio recording by modifying the audio input portion to obtain a modified audio portion, and by generating the processed audio recording such that the processed audio recording comprises the modified audio portion instead of the audio input portion.
