Speaker Variations and Vocal Disguise
Abstract: The process of recognizing the speaker based on parameters like pitch, loudness and other acoustic attributes is called speaker recognition. Speaker recognition is considered to be challenging. The voice changing apps facilitating vocal disguise have further made this process even difficult. The voice changing apps can induce variations, some of these variations may be predominantly different, even though these apps can disguise a person’s voice, certain parameters may stay real …
