German provider of speaker authentication solutions VOICE.TRUST has formalised its partnership with US company SpeechWorks International. The company, which was launched in 2000, uses SpeechWorks' SpeechSecure speaker verification technology at the heart of its biometric-based authentication solution VOICE.TRUST Server.
VOICE.TRUST Server is a telephone-based system that combines speech recognition and speaker verification. After acquiring a caller's claimed ID from the opening dialogue using speech recognition, SpeechWorks' speaker verification technology is used to compare the caller's voiceprint against a previously-compiled reference model.
Launched in 2000, VOICE.TRUST is a relatively new player on the speaker verification block and has around 25 staff. Its main deals to date have primarily been in Germany -most notably with a large German insurance group last year. Revenue from this deal enabled the company to launch its first packaged product VOICE.TRUST Server, which signified the company's emergence into the biometric market, a spokesman at the company told Btt.
All the deals the company has secured to date use the technology as a password-reset tool and have been with large clients, where the business case for using the technology is obvious. However, the technology can also be used for two-factor authentication, authentication for remote access or single sign-on and PKI profile recovery.
The company is keen to penetrate the European market. In particular, the supplier will target the UK and France through a network of local partners.
VOICE.TRUST is putting a great deal of effort into product development, and is working with a number of German universities to refine the performance of its algorithms.
