Deveillance is developing Spectre, a portable privacy device designed to prevent nearby microphones from capturing clear speech. The system creates a protection zone of roughly two meters by emitting signals that humans cannot hear but that interfere with audio recording hardware.
According to the company, Spectre can also detect microphones in nearby electronics such as smartphones, laptops, and smart speakers, while logging their presence. The technology combines signal processing, artificial intelligence, and physics to overlay conversations with signals that make recordings unintelligible.

All processing happens locally on the device, meaning no audio data is sent to the cloud. Deveillance positions the technology as a tool for protecting conversations from always-on devices and large-scale data collection.
The device is currently in development, with first shipments expected in the second half of 2026.
