Abstract
A method for protecting user data during an audio interaction includes various operations performed by a processing system including at least one processor. In one example, the operations include detecting an audio signal that is part of an interaction between a user and another party, converting the audio signal into a string of text, detecting that the interaction is likely to put sensitive data of the user at risk, based on a comparison of the string of text to a library of interactions that are known to put sensitive data at risk, and sending an alert to notify the user that the interaction is likely to put the sensitive data of the user at risk, wherein the alert is sent to prevent the user from providing the sensitive data to the another party, and wherein the method is performed contemporaneously with an occurrence of the interaction.
