LumenVox Active Voice Biometrics vs Recognition Technologies Speaker Recognition

LumenVox Active Voice Biometrics provides text-dependent voice authentication for enterprises seeking identity assurance beyond passwords, PINs, and security questions. Containerized microservices run on Kubernetes on-premises, in private or public clouds, or across hybrid environments. A deep-neural-network engine supports active, passive, and hybrid authentication. Enrollment and verification can use any passphrase and language supported by the corresponding ASR engine. Playback, liveness, synthetic-speech, and fraud-watchlist checks address presentation attacks. APIs create, retrieve, disable, re-enable, and remove identities and query enrollment status. Biometrics, Speech, Management, and Reporting APIs are exposed through gRPC and REST. Supported channels include contact-center IVR, smartphone and web applications, desktop applications, virtual assistants, video calls, messaging platforms, and conversational AI. Enrollment requires at least three separate utterances. Audio must be headerless base64 PCM-16, A-law, or μ-law at 8 kHz. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with customer-controlled keys and TLS between components. Pricing is on request.

Recognition Technologies Speaker Recognition is a language- and text-independent voice biometrics system for identifying and verifying speakers. A person may enroll in one language and be identified or verified in another. The engine also supports classification, detection, tracking and segmentation. Identification can use open-set or closed-set approaches; closed-set identification can return the nearest enrolled voice even if the speaker is not in the database. The maker describes verification enrollment as about 30 seconds of speech, followed by a few seconds when the speaker returns. Interfaces include a C++ SDK/API, command line, web service, Android and iOS; the engine can also be used as a module of the maker’s IVR system. Deployment options include embedded, server-based, standalone, hosting at Recognition Technologies or hosting at the customer’s facilities. The product page lists Linux, Apple Macintosh OS X and Windows support. Its telephony version supports speaker verification and identification for telephone authentication and access-level control. Pricing is on request, and an evaluation account for the hosted version may be available to interested organizations.
