Research on a voice changed by distortion

Abstract

The concept and essence of distortion are considered from a technical stand-point and criminal law perspective. The most common ways of distorting a voice and a speech are provided, as well as certain methods of detecting an intentional change in a voice and human speech by computer tools and linguistic analysis.  Some software and hardware tools changing a speech signal both in real time and in a pre-prepared recording are analyzed. To solve diagnostic and identification tasks, a pressing issue in forensic video and audio analysis is studied which is addressed to forensic experts in this field more often.
