VOXPROTECT - A Witness's voice is not protected
PARIS, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Our voice is unique. However, with digital technology's advent and the 
proliferation of technologies such as DEEPFAKE AUDIO, the voice can now be 
synthesized, modified, and recognized.

Unfortunately, nowadays, one of the necessary means of witness protection used 
in all news reports and criminal cases remains the voice modification by linear 
effects existing on the market, such as the "pitch" effect: a transformation of 
the tone of a processed signal.

These working methods date back to the analog era. Today, simple inverse 
functions are available on the internet. That research access to a signal's 
spectral representation, the equivalent of a voice fingerprint, reverse all 
existing audio effects.

These methods have become obsolete and dangerous and do not guarantee the 
anonymity of witnesses.

A protection flaw that few official services, especially the Justice, seem to 
know.

In concrete terms, if we take an example of spectral representation, the 
analysis before and after the pitch does not modify the fundamentals of the 
signal.

No modification is observed. This confirms the NON-PROTECTION of the voice of 
the witnesses by simple treatment of "pitch" or other linear effects.

Based on this observation, which we are not the only ones to denounce*, after 
four years of research and development with specialized researchers and the 
support of RIAM, CNC, BPI, and INRIA, SWEALINK offers the only secure 
protection for the voice of witnesses, a plug-in under the name VOX PROTECT.

As proof of its irreversibility, if we compare the original voice and the voice 
processed by VOX PROTECT, we can see that the signal has indeed undergone 
essential transformations, thus protecting the witness from a voice recognition 
by the analogy of signals.

VOX PROTECT is the only software that protects the witness, the plug-in user, 
and the software itself by its innovative operating model.
