VoicePrivacy
VoicePrivacy 2026 is dedicated to the memory of Emmanuel Vincent, whose pioneering work and leadership were central to the creation of the VoicePrivacy initiative and to advances in voice anonymization and privacy in speech technology.
Formed in 2020, the VoicePrivacy initiative has spearheaded efforts to develop privacy-preserving solutions for speech technologies. To date, it has organized VoicePrivacy 2020, VoicePrivacy 2022, VoicePrivacy 2024, and the Attacker Challenge. VoicePrivacy 2026, the fourth edition of the challenge, was scheduled from March 2026 through the VoicePrivacy Challenge workshop held in conjunction with the 6th Symposium on Security and Privacy in Speech Communication (SPSC), co-located with Interspeech 2026 in Sydney, Australia.
The challenge is organised with two independent tracks:
-
Track 1: English anonymization.
-
Track 2: Multilingual anonymization.
