Voice inversion is a primitive method of rendering speech unintelligible to prevent eavesdropping of radio or telephone calls. I wrote about some simple ways to reverse it in a previous post. I've since written a software tool, deinvert (on GitHub), that does all this for us. It can also descramble a slightly more advanced scrambling method called split-band inversion. Let's see how that happens behind the scenes.

    Several decades ago some electronics enthusiast's magazine (Popular Electronics??) described a simple hardware system to mix audio from a local radio broadcast with your spoken voice in real-time; the resulting "scrambled" signal could be decoded with corresponding hardware, providing the receipient could also tune to same radio broadcast. Scrambled audio was inductively coupled to a telephone handset for "secure" conversations.
