VoxWatermark: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Audio Watermark Detection under Perturbations

With the rapid deployment of speech generation systems in open environments, providing verifiable source attribution and copyright accountability for audio content has become critical. A gap in current research is the lack of a unified benchmark that systematically compares different watermark injection methods under realistic distribution shifts. To address this, we build VoxWatermark by applying 10 watermarking methods (4 neural and 6 traditional) with unified injection and annotation on multilingual, multi-source corpora, and introducing no-box, black-box, and white-box perturbations to simulate real recording and transmission conditions. Based on this benchmark, we propose AudioWMD as a robust baseline detector for large-scale, multi-method, cross-distribution settings. Results show that injection-method diversity and distribution shifts affect detection stability, while validating the effectiveness and scalability of AudioWMD. Dataset and code are publicly available.
