Abstract

This work presents the development of a multi-level speech based person authentication system with attendance as an application. The multi-level system consists of three different modules of speaker verification, namely voice-password, text-dependent and text-independent speaker verification. The three speaker verification modules are combined in a sequential manner to develop a multi-level framework which is ported over a telephone network through interactive voice response (IVR) system for aiding remote authentication. The users call from a fixed set of mobile handsets to verify their claim against their respective models, which is then authenticated in a multi-level mode using the above stated three modules. An analysis over a period of two months is shown on the performance of the multi-level system in attendance marking. The multi-level framework having combination of the three modules helps in achieving better performance than that of the individual modules, which shows its potential for practical deployment.
