A new research paper introduces a voice anonymization model that prioritizes content preservation over realistic speech generation. The model utilizes content embeddings from a pre-trained Wav2Vec2 encoder, which are then decoded into an anonymized signal. This approach achieves a low word error rate of 2.53% and a competitive equal error rate of 13.39% for anonymization, while also partially preserving emotional cues without explicit training for it.
