Abstract
We use our voices all the time to communicate with one another. Talking is the simplest and easiest means of information transmission. It could also be one of the simplest means of identification. Recent advances in computing technology have made voice recognition - a biometric technology based on the unique characteristics specific to an individual's voice - more convenient, safer, and more secure than ever. In this paper, we review the current state of voice recognition technology and show how deep learning - the core of contemporary AI technology - is providing the key to unlock the power of biometrics. We will also look in some detail at NEC's work in the field of voice recognition technology, which is at the forefront of worldwide efforts to make this technology accessible and reliable. Finally, we discuss potential industrial applications for voice recognition technology such as public safety solutions.
