Your Voice is Your Key

Each biometric method has advantages and disadvantages with respect to performance, cost, and applicability. Anovea's voice authentication technology features high performance at a low cost and has wide applicability to enterprise security, VPN, telephony, and Internet applications. The advantages of Anovea's voice authentication technology are:

• High performance: Anovea has designed its voice verification system from the ground up to support real-world applications even when there is noise in the environment or limited bandwidth. Anovea's voice authentication technology supports different microphones, telephones, and sound cards. Anovea has also designed its technology to integrate support for such varied applications as smart-cards and Internet applications which require highly compressed data.
• Low infrastructure cost: Anovea's voice authentication solutions can be implemented quickly, with little or no added infrastructure cost. Unlike other biometric modalities, Anovea's voice authentication technology doesn't require specialized and expensive sensors or interface hardware. The entire system runs through software on conventional processors. The "infrastructure" required to implement most applications is already in place, or available at low cost:

In telephony applications, Anovea Voice Authentication technology works using the common corded, cordless and cellular telephones.

In computer-based applications, Anovea Voice Authentication technology works with a wide range of microphone/sound-card combinations on every standard desktop and laptop computer.

• Easy implementation: Anovea has created a powerful, flexible, and intuitive API to allow application designers and system integrators to unleash the power of Anovea's voice authentication technology with a minimum of programming effort. Anovea has hidden all of the difficult and challenging parts of designing voice authentication applications in the Windows environment. Using Anovea's API, developers can quickly develop and deploy highly robust stand-alone and client-server applications.
• Flexible: Unlike other biometric modalities, Anovea's voice authentication technology is immediately applicable to multiplatform applications that utilize a variety of different transducers. For example, in a home-banking application, the user can enroll over a home telephone and verify using a cellular telephone, or over the internet using a browser-based application running on a home computer with a common sound card and cheap microphone.
• Customizable: The application designer can configure and customize a wide range of parameters that affect the level of security of the system. Anovea can also integrate voice authentication technology with other biometric technologies on the market to create layered biometric applications.
