VoiceGuard AI
A free tool designed to help individuals and organizations detect synthetic voice scams and AI impersonation.
The Challenge
Voice synthesis technology has advanced to the point where synthetic voices can be nearly indistinguishable from real ones. This creates new vectors for fraud: attackers can clone voices from publicly available audio and use them to impersonate trusted individuals.
The threat is not hypothetical. Organizations report increasing attempts to use synthetic voice to authorize fraudulent transactions, and individuals face growing risks from voice-based scams targeting family members.
VoiceGuard exists to provide a practical tool for detection. It does not claim perfect accuracy, but it offers an additional layer of verification when voice authenticity is in question.
How It Works
VoiceGuard uses pattern analysis to identify markers of synthetic speech. Here is the high-level process.
Audio Analysis
VoiceGuard analyzes audio samples looking for artifacts and patterns that distinguish synthetic speech from natural human voice.
Pattern Detection
The system identifies subtle markers that current voice synthesis technology leaves behind, even in high-quality deepfakes.
Risk Assessment
Results provide a risk assessment rather than a binary verdict, helping users make informed decisions about suspicious communications.
How Organizations Can Use VoiceGuard
VoiceGuard fits into broader security and risk management frameworks. Here are common deployment scenarios.
Risk Management
Integrate VoiceGuard into your verification workflows to add a layer of protection against voice-based social engineering.
Incident Response
When suspected synthetic voice attacks occur, use VoiceGuard to analyze recordings and inform your response strategy.
Policy Development
VoiceGuard data can inform organizational policies around voice verification and authentication procedures.
Training and Awareness
Use VoiceGuard demonstrations to educate staff about synthetic voice threats and how to recognize potential scams.

No detection tool is perfect. VoiceGuard provides risk assessment, not certainty. As voice synthesis technology evolves, detection methods must evolve as well.
VoiceGuard should be one component of a broader verification strategy, not a sole line of defense. It works best when combined with other authentication methods and organizational policies.
The tool is provided free to support broader awareness and defense against synthetic voice threats. It represents ongoing research, and capabilities will continue to develop.
