US 2025/0095646 A1 · AUTOMATIC REPLACEMENT OF TARGETED OBJECTS WITHIN ARBITRARY MEDIA

Abstract

In an approach to improve the protection of sensitive data, embodiments extract, by a signal separator component, a voice from an audio file, and transcribe, by a speech-to-text component, the voice in the audio file into text. Further, embodiments identify, by a natural language processing and identification component, sensitive data in the text, wherein identifying sensitive date comprises parsing the text and identifying the sensitive data contained within the text. Additionally, embodiments identify, by a voice locator component, a synthetic voice that matches the voice from the audio file, replace, by a voice replacer component, the identified sensitive data with synthetic data that is semantically and contextually meaningful, wherein the synthetic data is voiced using the synthetic voice, and output a new audio file with the sensitive data replaced by the synthetic data.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

extracting, by a signal separator component, a voice from an audio file;
transcribing, by a speech-to-text component, the voice in the audio file into text;
identifying, by a natural language processing and identification component, sensitive data in the text, wherein identifying sensitive date comprises:
parsing the text and identifying the sensitive data contained within the text;
identifying, by a voice locator component, a synthetic voice that matches the voice from the audio file;
replacing, by a voice replacer component, the identified sensitive data with synthetic data that is semantically and contextually meaningful, wherein the synthetic data is voiced using the synthetic voice;
and
outputting a new audio file with the sensitive data replaced by the synthetic data.
