An audio system, comprising: a memory device for storage of audio processing algorithms and audio tags; an audio capture device; a processor coupled to the memory device, the audio capture device, and to a source of undesired audio signal or a source of desired audio signal, the source of the undesired audio signal and the source of the desired audio signal being separate, the processor configured to, prior to the operation of processing a collective audio signal: determine whether it has access to the source of undesired audio signals; determine whether it has access to the source of desired audio signals; and when the processor has access to the source of desired audio signals, process audio signals generated from the source of desired audio signals to identify a naturally occurring audio tag, NT, associated with the source of desired audio signal, wherein the NT comprises detected frequency content outside of the 30-8000 Hz range, higher audio quality than audio speakers are capable of providing, or an audio artefact caused by increased air pressure on a microphone; and when the processor has access to the source of undesired audio signals, add a unique externally created audio tag, ECT, to the audio signals generated from the source of undesired audio signals; the audio capture device configured to receive a plurality of separately-sourced audio transmissions and convert the audio transmissions into one collective audio signal, the separately sourced audio transmissions including transmissions from the source of desired audio and the source of undesired audio; the processor further configured to, after identifying the naturally occurring audio tag associated with the source of desired audio signals or adding a unique externally created audio tag to the audio signal generated by the source of undesired audio signals: receive, from the audio capture device, the collective audio signal, and, eliminate the undesired audio signals by obtaining a desired audio signal by either (i) filtering out undesired audio signals in the collective audio signal by recognizing the undesired audio source based on its ECT, or (ii) recognizing the desired audio source by its NT, and eliminating all audio signals from sources not having the desired audio tag, prior to using a speech recognition algorithm to identify an intended command in the desired audio signal. a memory device for storage of audio processing algorithms and audio tags; an audio capture device; a processor coupled to the memory device, the audio capture device, and to a source of undesired audio signal or a source of desired audio signal, the source of the undesired audio signal and the source of the desired audio signal being separate, the processor configured to, prior to the operation of processing a collective audio signal: determine whether it has access to the source of undesired audio signals; determine whether it has access to the source of desired audio signals; and when the processor has access to the source of desired audio signals, process audio signals generated from the source of desired audio signals to identify a naturally occurring audio tag, NT, associated with the source of desired audio signal, wherein the NT comprises detected frequency content outside of the 30-8000 Hz range, higher audio quality than audio speakers are capable of providing, or an audio artefact caused by increased air pressure on a microphone; and when the processor has access to the source of undesired audio signals, add a unique externally created audio tag, ECT, to the audio signals generated from the source of undesired audio signals; the audio capture device configured to receive a plurality of separately-sourced audio transmissions and convert the audio transmissions into one collective audio signal, the separately sourced audio transmissions including transmissions from the source of desired audio and the source of undesired audio; the processor further configured to, after identifying the naturally occurring audio tag associated with the source of desired audio signals or adding a unique externally created audio tag to the audio signal generated by the source of undesired audio signals: receive, from the audio capture device, the collective audio signal, and, eliminate the undesired audio signals by obtaining a desired audio signal by either (i) filtering out undesired audio signals in the collective audio signal by recognizing the undesired audio source based on its ECT, or (ii) recognizing the desired audio source by its NT, and eliminating all audio signals from sources not having the desired audio tag, prior to using a speech recognition algorithm to identify an intended command in the desired audio signal.
