Voice Patterns

Speech patterns encompass both physiological and behavioral factors, and voice identification devices focus on different characteristics than does the human ear. In other words, an imposter may be able to imitate someone's voice extremely well, but will not fool a voice identification system. Voice pattern analysis systems may be set up with dedicated hardware and software at the access point, or users may achieve access by phone. One current application for voice verification systems is to monitor computer use. Biometric identification through voice pattern analysis is one of the most acceptable methods to users.

New in biometric identification is a system patented by university researchers that automatically recognizes users by smell. Though it may take a while before credit card companies and retailers can smell us coming, you may find that a biometric solution is the ideal security solution for your business today
