An apparatus for processing an audio input recording to obtain a processed audio recording, wherein the apparatus comprises: an input interface for receiving a plurality of audio input portions of the audio input recording, and a processor for processing a plurality of audio input portions of the audio input recording to obtain a processed audio recording, wherein the processor is configured to determine, whether or not an audio input portion of the plurality of audio input portions comprises speech, wherein, if the processor has detected that the audio input portion comprises speech, the processor is configured to generate the processed audio recording by modifying the audio input portion to obtain a modified audio portion, and by generating the processed audio recording such that the processed audio recording comprises the modified audio portion instead of the audio input portion, wherein, if the processor has detected that the audio input portion comprises speech and if the audio input portion shall be processed according to a particular processing rule, the processor is configured to generate the processed audio recording by employing automatic speech recognition and/or speaker identification, such that, if the speech originates from previously identified speakers or from speakers that have trained the apparatus, the speech remains understandable in the modified audio portion; and otherwise, the processed audio recording does not comprise the audio input portion, or the modified audio portion is generated using a voice filter, such that only speech from the previously identified speakers or from the speakers that have trained the apparatus is understandable. an input interface for receiving a plurality of audio input portions of the audio input recording, and a processor for processing a plurality of audio input portions of the audio input recording to obtain a processed audio recording, wherein the processor is configured to determine, whether or not an audio input portion of the plurality of audio input portions comprises speech, wherein, if the processor has detected that the audio input portion comprises speech, the processor is configured to generate the processed audio recording by modifying the audio input portion to obtain a modified audio portion, and by generating the processed audio recording such that the processed audio recording comprises the modified audio portion instead of the audio input portion, wherein, if the processor has detected that the audio input portion comprises speech and if the audio input portion shall be processed according to a particular processing rule, the processor is configured to generate the processed audio recording by employing automatic speech recognition and/or speaker identification, such that, if the speech originates from previously identified speakers or from speakers that have trained the apparatus, the speech remains understandable in the modified audio portion; and otherwise, the processed audio recording does not comprise the audio input portion, or the modified audio portion is generated using a voice filter, such that only speech from the previously identified speakers or from the speakers that have trained the apparatus is understandable.
