Why VoiceVantage
New entrants are raising capital to build what VoiceVantage already has in the field.
01 Proven, not a prototype
In the field since 2005 across Fortune 1000 and regulated deployments. Twenty years of production use behind every result.
02 Independently tested on deepfakes
In 533 independent tests, blocked the top five AI deepfake voice engines across cell phone, landline and laptop audio.
03 Verifies and detects in one engine
In University testing, told identical twins apart where Microsoft, LumenVox and Verint could not. Language independent, results in milliseconds.
04 Built for regulated buyers
On-premise or hybrid deployment suits buyers working under voiceprint privacy rules such as Illinois BIPA.
05 Scarce as incumbents exit
Microsoft retired Azure Speaker Recognition in 2025 and Amazon ended Connect Voice ID in 2026, leaving their customers to find a specialist.
06 Research depth
Research Advisor Dr. Khalil El-Khatib, Professor and Director, Institute for Cyber Security and Resilient Systems, Ontario Tech University.
What this means
Demand is documented and accelerating, most buyers are still unprotected, and capital is flowing to voice specialists at scale. The timing favors a proven, tested engine that is available now, while the largest providers leave the field and newer players are still raising to catch up.
- 25% of organizations hit reported $1M or more in cost from a single incident.
- AI-driven attacks on Pindrop customers rose 1,680%, Q4 2024 to June 2026.
- In healthcare contact centers, more than half of fraud attempts now involve AI-generated elements.
- Arup lost about $25M to one deepfake video call impersonating its CFO.
