Abstract
A system integrated in a smart TV that suppresses in real-time a selected voice of a specific person in a digital audio stream that includes an audio processor, a setting module, a user interface, and an input mechanism. The system selects the voice of the specific person, creates a voice profile of that voice that includes voice parameters, stores the voice profile, continuously monitors the voice parameters in digital audio stream received by the audio processor, suppresses identified voices that match those parameters o in the received digital audio stream, and send a clean digital audio stream to be played through the speakers of the smart TV. The input mechanism may select the voice by using a key when the voice is heard through the speakers, may assign identification to the selected voice, and may remove the selected voice stored in the audio processor.
