ABSTRACT:
An analog voice signal is encoded for playback in a form in which the identity of the speaker's voice is disguised. To do this, the analog voice signal is converted to a first digital voice signal which is divided into a plurality of sequential speech segments. A plurality of voice fonts, for different types of voices are stored and one of these is selected as a playback voice font. An encoded voice signal for playback which includes the plurality of sequential speech segments and either the selected font or an identification of the selected font is generated. In addition, the digital voice signal is analyzed to identify characteristics of the voice signal.
