  • Patent number: 9741346
    Abstract: A method for estimating the reliability of a result of a speaker recognition system concerning a testing audio and a speaker model, which is based on one, two, three or more model audios, the method using a Bayesian Network to estimate whether the result is reliable. In estimating the reliability of the result of the speaker recognition system one, two, three, four or more than four quality measures of the testing audio and one, two, three, four or more than four quality measures of the model audio(s) are used.

  • Patent number: 9685159
    Abstract: A method for speaker recognition comprising: obtaining speaker information for a target speaker; obtaining speech samples from telephone calls from an unknown speaker; classifying the speech samples according the unknown speaker thereby providing speaker-dependent classes of speech samples; extracting speaker information of each of the speaker-dependent classes of speech samples; combining the extracted speaker information; comparing the combined extracted speaker information with the stored speaker information for the target speaker to obtain a comparison result; and determining whether the unknown speaker is identical with the target speaker based on the comparison result.

  • Patent number: 9336780
    Abstract: Method for speaker identification includes detecting a target speaker's utterance locally; extracting features from the detected utterance locally, analyzing the extracted features in the local device to obtain information on the speaker identification and/or encoding the extracted features locally, transmitting the encoded extracted features to a remote server, decoding and analyzing the received extracted features by the server to obtain information on the speaker identification, and transmitting the information on the speaker identification from the server to the location where the speaker's utterance was detected. The method further includes detecting speech activity locally. Extracting features, encoding the extracted features, and/or transmitting the encoded extracted features to the server, are only performed if speech activity above some predetermined threshold is detected.

  • Publication number: 20150112682
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for verifying the identity of a speaker based on the speaker's voice comprising the steps of: a) receiving a voice utterance; b) using biometric voice data to verify that the speakers voice corresponds to the speaker the identity of which is to be verified based on the received voice utterance; and c) verifying that the received voice utterance is not falsified, preferably after having verified the speakers voice; d) accepting the speaker's identity to be verified in case that both verification steps give a positive result and not accepting the speaker's identity to be verified if any of the verification steps give a negative result. The invention further refers to a corresponding computer readable medium and a computer.
