Abstract:
Technologies for secure storage of utterances are disclosed. A computing device captures audio of a human making a verbal utterance. The utterance is provided to a speech-to-text (STT) service that translates the utterance to text. The STT service can also identify various speaker-specific attributes in the utterance. The text and attributes are provided to a text-to-speech (TTS) service that creates speech from the text and a subset of the attributes. The speech is stored in a data store that is less secure than that required for storing the original utterance. The original utterance can then be discarded. The STT service can also translate the speech generated by the TTS service to text. The text generated by the STT service from the speech and the text generated by the STT service from the original utterance are then compared. If the text does not match, the original utterance can be retained.
