Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for amplifying a single voice during an audio conversation. One embodiment of the method may comprise receiving, by a computing device, an audio sample of speech from a user, and generating, by the computing device, a user-specific acoustic model for enhancement of speech by the user based upon the audio sample. The method may further comprise receiving a live audiovisual stream, the live audiovisual stream including live speech by the user during an audio conversation, wherein the live audiovisual stream includes background noise, and using, by the computing device, the user-specific acoustic model to selectively amplify the live speech during the live audiovisual stream without amplifying the background noise.
