Aculab launches its first speaker verification software

INDIA -- Aculab, the world wide speech processing specialist, is entering the biometrics arena with the launch of its own speaker verification and identification (SVI) software.

The new software is designed for use in telephony applications and is available under a cost free license, when used with the company's Prosody digital signal processor (DSP) resource card.

The new SVI software uses statistical data to confirm a caller's identity by their unique voiceprint and provides a cost effective, convenient and secure way to access personal information over the phone. The applications can verify the caller based on their voice. It even uses biometrics to offer high-density SVI.

The new solution works in conjunction with other speech processing technologies such as text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). Not only can they process a caller's request and retrieve the right information, they can also verify the caller's ID.

In a typical application, the new software can provide high verification accuracy using only a single, short utterance.
