Voice Recognition is already changing the world
Just as the internet provided a new channel, voice biometrics has opened the door to the voice channel as a secure means to authenticate who is speaking.
Over 6,000,000 voices have been printed and that number is expected to climb to 100M in the next three years. Over 1M voice e-signatures have been used to authenticate documents via the phone. And it is recognized in NAmerica and Europe as the legal equivalent of a hand-written signature.
