Filtering data in an audio stream
Disclosed herein is a system, method, and computer program product for filtering data in an audio stream. Incoming audio is converted into text and analyzed for information of a first type. Based on the detection of information of the first type from a source, a recipient is blocked from receiving the audible information.
1. A system comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory component;
a live audio stream having one or more spoken words,
wherein the live audio stream is spoken language during a telephone call;
a sensitive word list,
wherein the sensitive word list is based on credentials of a listener;
at least one speech-to-text engine configured to decode the live audio stream into text;
a sensitive word detecting engine configured to analyze the text for text strings indicating sensitive information upon matching words in the text strings to the sensitive word list; and
a blocking engine configured to block the live audio stream when words matching the sensitive word list are detected from the live audio stream.
2. The system of claim 1 ,
wherein the sensitive information is selected from a group consisting of financial information, health information, credit information, passcode information, identity information, and location information; and
wherein the sensitive information is included in the sensitive word list; and
wherein the detecting is based upon an incomplete portion of the sensitive information that has been spoken before the detecting is complete.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing comprises comparing the text with a known list of sensitive trigger words.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the text strings comprise one or more words that commonly come before sensitive information.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the text strings comprise sensitive information.
6. The system of claim 1 further comprising selecting a speech-to-text engine that meets or exceeds an accuracy threshold.
7. A method for blocking sensitive information in an live audio stream comprising:
receiving the live audio stream, the live audio stream having spoken words, from a live audio feed;
converting the live audio stream into text with at least one speech-to-text engine;
analyzing, by a sensitive word detection engine, the text for text strings indicating sensitive information upon matching words in the text strings to a sensitive word list,
wherein the sensitive word list is based on credentials of a listener; and
blocking, by a blocking engine, at least a portion of the live audio stream wherein the portion of the live audio stream that is blocked is at least a portion of the detected sensitive words.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the live audio stream is a telephone call.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sensitive information is selected from a group consisting of financial information, health information, credit information, passcode information, identity information, and location information.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the analyzing comprises comparing the text with a known list of sensitive trigger words.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the text strings comprise one or more words that commonly come before sensitive information.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the text strings comprise sensitive information.
13. The method of claim 7 further comprising selecting a speech-to-text engine that meets or exceeds an accuracy threshold.
14. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
receiving the live audio stream, the live audio stream having spoken words, from a live audio feed;
converting the live audio stream into text with at least one speech-to-text engine;
analyzing, by a sensitive word detection engine, the text for text strings indicating sensitive information upon matching words in the text strings to a sensitive word list,
wherein the sensitive word list is based on credentials of a listener; and
blocking, by a blocking engine, at least a portion of the live audio stream wherein the portion of the live audio stream that is blocked is at least a portion of the detected sensitive words.
15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the live audio stream is a telephone call.
16. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the analyzing comprises comparing the text with a known list of sensitive trigger words.
17. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the text strings comprise one or more words that commonly come before sensitive information.
18. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the text strings comprise sensitive information.
