Voice Garbler
(Forensic Version Only)
Sometimes it is necessary to disguise a person’s voice in order not to break cover or to protect a person’s anonymity that may be providing certain types of legal testimony. Your Diamond Cut Forensics10 Audio Laboratory software includes a Voice Garbler (voice disguiser or voice garbler) for that purpose.
The Vocal Garbler
The algorithm used renders the garbled voice almost impossible to reverse when the controls are set properly. This attribute distinguishes this “garbler” from others that you may have worked with. To help maintain its security, we are not going to reveal anything about the method of operation of this algorithm. As a matter of fact, we are not going to use accurately descriptive naming conventions for the primary controls. They are simply “Pitch” and “2nd Pitch Level”. There are no units assigned to the numeric values associated with these controls either. To operate the Voice Garbler, simply adjust “Pitch” and “2nd Pitch” until you achieve the disguised voice effect that you desire. Switch the “Bypass” checkbox on and off as you vary the controls until the persons voice can no longer be uniquely distinguishable while maintaining the intelligibility of the content of the speech. The only accurately descriptive control is the “Output Level”. Adjust this so that the Clip LED does not illuminate if you are concerned about output signal clipping. As with other Diamond Cut filters and/or effects, you can save your settings by clicking on the Voice Garbler “Save” button.
Note: The Voice Garbler is not a high-fidelity system. Glitches (discontinuities in the signal) are a normal byproduct of its method of operation and are an element (artifact) of its non-reversibility.
