Abstract
Techniques are described herein for multi-factor audio watermarking. A method includes: receiving audio data; processing the audio data to generate predicted output that indicates a probability of one or more hotwords being present in the audio data; determining that the predicted output satisfies a threshold that is indicative of the one or more hotwords being present in the audio data; in response to determining that the predicted output satisfies the threshold, processing the audio data using automatic speech recognition to generate a speech transcription feature; detecting a watermark that is embedded in the audio data; and in response to detecting the watermark: determining that the speech transcription feature corresponds to one of a plurality of stored speech transcription features; and in response to determining that the speech transcription feature corresponds to one of the plurality of stored speech transcription features, suppressing processing of a query included in the audio data.
