Abstract

Systems and methods for audio processing are described. An audio processing system receives audio content that includes a voice sample. The audio processing system analyzes the voice sample to identify a sound type in the voice sample. The sound type corresponds to pronunciation of at least one specified character in the voice sample. The audio processing system generates a filtered voice sample at least in part by filtering the voice sample to modify the sound type. The audio processing system outputs the filtered voice sample.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An apparatus for audio processing, the apparatus comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions;
and
at least one processor that executes the instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:
receive audio content that includes a voice sample of a voice of a user saying at least one word, the at least one word including a plurality of characters;
analyze the voice sample to identify a sound type in the voice sample, wherein the sound type corresponds to a pronunciation by the user in the voice sample of at least one specified character of the plurality of characters;
generate a filtered voice sample using a personalized filter at least in part by filtering the voice sample to modify the sound type, wherein the personalized filter is customized to the voice of the user based on at least one additional voice sample of the voice of the user;
and
output the filtered voice sample.
