Description
Here's a scientific look at computer-generated speech verification and identification - its underlying technology, practical applications, and future direction. This book provides you with a solid background in voice recognition technology and helps you make informed decisions on which voice recognition-based software to use in your company or organization. It is unique in its clear explanations of mathematical concepts, as well as its full-chapter presentation of the successful new Multi-Granular Segregating System for accurate, context-free speech identification. Page after page of actual case studies and experimental results supported by clear, easy-to-follow charts and graphs help...Speech scientists get up to speed in voice recognition technology and conduct future research; Security specialists and managers choose the speech identification-based security system best suited for their needs; Law enforcement and justice officials better understand the benefits and limitations of forensic voice recognition technology.
