Journal: IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing
Year: 2023

Speaker anonymization is the task of modifying a speech recording such that the original speaker cannot be identified anymore. Since the first Voice Privacy Challenge in 2020, along with the release of a framework, the popularity of this research topic is continually increasing. However, the comparison and combination of different anonymization approaches remains challenging due to the complexity of evaluation and the absence of user-friendly research frameworks. We therefore propose an efficien
