Abstract
Technologies are generally described for voice to text to voice processing. An audio signal can be preprocessed and translated into text prior to being processed in the textual domain. The text domain processing or subsequent text to voice regeneration can seek to improve clarity, correct grammar, adjust vocabulary level, remove profanity, correct slang, alter dialect, alter accent, or provide other modifications of various oral communication characteristics. The processed text may be translated back into the audio domain for delivery to a listener. The processing at each stage may be driven by a set of objectives and constraints set by the speaker, the listener, a third party, or any combination of explicit or implicit participants. The voice processing may translate the voice content from a specific human language to the same human language with various improvements. The processing may also involve translation into one or more other languages.
