Abstract
Isolating and amplifying a conversation between selected participants is provided. A plurality of spectral masks is received. Each spectral mask in the plurality corresponds to a respective participant in a selected group of participants included in a conversation. A composite spectral mask is generated by additive superposition of the plurality of spectral masks. The composite spectral mask is applied to sound captured by a microphone to filter out sounds that do not match the composite spectral mask and amplifying remaining sounds that match the composite spectral mask.
