Safeguarding Anonymity with Voice Masking

The new voice masking feature leverages Veritone’s proprietary operating system, aiWARE, to replace original voices with AI-generated ones while maintaining the same tone and inflection, and ensuring the voice is distinct and untraceable. This approach is unique among other voice masking products on the market and eliminates the exposure risks commonly associated with traditional voice masking methods, such as pitch alteration.

“Voice masking is crucial for safeguarding the privacy of vulnerable individuals,” said Ryan Steelberg, CEO and President of Veritone. “Whether it’s protecting someone in an eyewitness protection program or anonymizing a minor in a sensitive case, this feature provides unparalleled assurance that personally identifiable information remains secure.”

Recent state legislation, including new requirements in Washington and Minnesota, is driving the need for advanced voice redaction solutions. For example, Washington’s amended Public Records Act now mandates that voices in audio-recorded workplace investigations must be altered to preserve tone and inflection while rendering them unrecognizable – neither names nor titles may be disclosed to the public without consent, except in the case of certain public officials. Similarly, Minnesota’s body-worn camera statute defines “redact” as blurring video or distorting audio so that the identity of subjects in recordings is obscured and unidentifiable. Veritone’s voice masking technology directly supports organizations seeking compliance with these new legal standards.
