Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for reconstructing censored media to an uncensored form using techniques such as content recognition, contextual analysis, facial analysis, voice fingerprinting, and voice reproduction, at the server level within a provider/server/client ecosystem, or at the client level. Specifically, a server or client receives a media stream, then buffers the media stream in a transitory and/or non-transitory memory and identifies a censored audio portion of the buffered media stream. The server then analyzes the video portion of the media stream and constructs a modified version of the censored audio portion based on the analysis of the video portion. The server then transmits, or the client then receives, the modified version of the media stream, which has the uncensored audio version of the censored audio portion of the media stream.
