Definition

The term “speaker recognition” (SR) refers to a group of technologies that use information extracted from a person’s speech to perform biometric operations such as speaker identification and verification (SIV). Standards for SR are designed to support the development of applications that can work with technology from different vendors (application programming interface standards), the sharing of SR data (data interchange standards), the transmission of data in real time (distributed speaker recognition standards), and the management of data resources in distributed environments (process-control protocol standards).

Introduction

SR technologies stand at the juncture between speech processing and biometrics. They belong to speech processing, because they extract and analyze data from the stream of speech. They belong to biometrics, because...
