VoiceCheck™ SaaS SDK, a Cloud hosted, per license/per use service

Our new product allow clients as well as VoiceVantage to offer a Cloud hosted, per license/per use service. The product is the VoiceCheck™ SaaS SDK. It is a .NET Wrapper for VC_Engine.DLL for SaaS Deployment.

In our VoiceCheck C++ SDK, the core VoiceCheck engine is packaged with the recorder and database components for a complete desktop or server solution. However, in the cloud environment no recorder or database component is necessary. Instead, only the VoiceCheck core technology is needed. The VoiceCheck™ SaaS SDK is a special version of our VoiceCheck verification engine. It consists only of the code that performs voiceprint extraction and comparison.

The core technology DLL was built using C++ and has an objected-oriented C++ native (i.e., “unmanaged”) interface. However, this is insufficient for use in a cloud environment using Microsoft .NET technology. To make this accommodation, an additional DLL was built to provide a .NET “managed” interface to the VoiceCheck core technology.

However, this is insufficient for use in a cloud environment using Microsoft .NET technology. To make this accommodation, an additional DLL was built to provide a .NET “managed” interface to the VoiceCheck core technology.

The VoiceCheck™ SaaS SDK contains the two DLLs mentioned above:

• VC_Engine_SaaS.dll: VoiceCheck core technology DLL with a “native” or “unmanaged” C++ interface.
• VC_Engine_SaaS_Net.dll: “managed” wrapper DLL for the “unmanaged” DLL with a .NET interface.

In addition to the above two DLLs, the VoiceCheck™ SaaS SDK also includes source code to a fully functional sample application written in C# that demonstrates the use of the .NET interface exposed by the VC_Engine_SaaS_Net DLL.

Technically speaking the VoiceCheck™ Engine SaaS SDK is a specially built version of the VoiceCheck™ Voice Verification Engine. It is designed to be deployed to a cloud environment to be used as Software As A Service. VC_Engine_SaaS_Net.dll is a companion DLL that can be deployed with VC_Engine_SaaS.dll, allowing access to the VC_Engine_SaaS.dll from a .NET development environment.

The VC_Engine_SaaS module supports the following features:

1) Create voiceprints from raw speech (e.g., PCM) or from a WAV file. All of the speech formats supported by our VoiceCheck™ SDK are also supported by the SaaS module.

2) Retrieve voiceprint for storage.

3) Retrieve statistics about the most recently created voiceprint (signal-to-noise ratio, speech length, frames removed, etc.)

4) Compare voiceprints

The SDK also includes a full Visual Studio 2022 solution and project with C# source code illustrating how to use the API exported from the VC_Engine_SaaS_NET DLL. An XML file is also included which provides documentation for the API when used with Visual Studio 2022.
