Spies want to disguise voices while researchers work to detect voice spoofs

A U.S. intelligence project incubator has announced it is looking for help creating anonymous real-time speech algorithms that disguise a speaker's identity live.

Meanwhile, a pair of researchers in China say they have designed biometric code that is better than competing approaches at performing the opposite task – detecting voice spoofs.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity agency has posted an invitation to develop code that can mask biometric identifiers in conversational speech. A proposers' day will be held June …
