Ineresting. Also these possible approaches come to mind:

- Trivial, probably off-topic: use a TTS. Only thing that is recognisable is the software which produced it. - Use some sort of granulation with random pitch-shifting. Not sure how easily reversible this would be.

A fun thing might be mix the two: that is start from a TTS and then feed it into the granular... Here a silly example made with Festival TTS and granulation in Granita (the first sentence is the 'original' produced by Fesival) with different settings and degrees of recognisability:

I'm currently thinking that a ring modulator would work well for this,
and it uses minimal CPU.  Can anyone think of a way to reverse the ring
modulation?  I attached my quick sketch.
