Abstract

Speaker Identification is the process of a machine identifying who is speaking automatically based solely on the voice of the person speaking. Recognising a person in a meeting room or on telephone, purely from their voice is an important and interesting research challenge. The voice is one of the human biometric properties. Recognition of a particular person’s voice can be used in different applications such as: unlocking an office door, marking student or employee attendance, monitoring elderly people’s health, online banking services, or helping people with dementia to be able to identify a who is speaking. This paper explores a range of such applications and discusses how emerging technologies can be used to support a variety of users in a series of different contexts of use.
