Abstract
In an approach to improve the privacy of chat groups within a virtual world, in response to identifying a private chat group has been created between two or more users, embodiments collect, by an internet of things (IoT) sensor set, a voice for each user in the private chat group. Further, embodiments analyze, by an analysis module, the collected voice, an intonation associated with the collected voice and an original pronunciation associated with the collected voice, and generate a de-content pronunciation based on the analysis of the collected voice, the intonation, and the original pronunciation. Additionally, embodiments output, by the IoT sensor set, the intonation and the original pronunciation to the two or more users in the private chat group and output, by the IoT sensor set and a client computer, the intonation and the de-content pronunciation to one or more users outside the private chat group.
