My Voice is My Password. Verify Me.
I remember watching the movie Sneakers (probably 20 times) and would always rewind the part where they could unlock doors with their voice.
The technology, known as voice print identification or voice bio authorization, was demonstrated by the geek Werner Brandes when he utters the words, “My voice is my password. Verify me”, to gain entry to his high-tech office.
This has always sounded uber, geeky, cool to me and it’s been on my list of hacks to try out on Tropo but it looks like someone beat me to it!
The guys over at Disruptive Technologies recently wrote a blog post about Voice Biometrics with VoiceVault and Tropo! To simplify using the VoiceVault API, Disruptive Technologies created a PHP library that can be used with Tropo for both the enrollment and the verification of voices prints. The library is available on Github as part of their sample WordPress Plugin.
Their sample WordPress Plugin was developed to show you how voice biometrics can be used in real life. You can add it to any WordPress site to enhance the user Signup and Password Reset functionality with voice biometrics and Tropo!
If you want to checkout how the plugin works, first browse to this Sign Up Page and sign up for an account. You will receive a phone call asking you, a couple of times, to speak a 4 digit code, this is used to enroll your voice. After enrolling your voice you can call 1(818) 533-9824 to receive a new temporary password to login to WordPress. Make sure to call from the phone number you registered when you signed up for the WordPress account!
Image the communications apps that you could build using this technology! The future is now so what are you waiting for – add voice bio metrics to your apps today using Tropo and VoiceVault thanks to Disruptive Technologies!
