Features and Benefits
Multi-Layered Security
Voice is an exceptional 2-factor authentication.
Convenience
Voice has been ranked as the least intrusive biometric technology.
Cost-Effective
VoiceCheck™ technology works with most existing infrastructures and uses existing communication devices.
Language Independent
VoiceCheck™ captures the voice characteristics necessary for future voiceprint comparison, regardless of the language, gender, or accent of the user.
Multiple Platforms
By using one centralized database of voiceprints for all platforms, you can leverage your investment across many communication channels.
Real-Time Enrollment
The entire enrollment procedure takes less than a minute to complete. Users can securely access your business’ applications immediately.
Low Storage Requirements
For a typical application, which uses an enrollment consisting of multiple renditions of a phrase, the storage requirement is only about 20-30 Kbytes.
Flexible Security Models
VoiceVantage™ software supports "Or," "And," or "Sequential" decision making rules, allowing the application to meet unique security needs. As well, the security threshold can be adjusted and controlled to meet the requirements of enterprise standards and priorities.
Highly Scalable Server Platform
Voice Vantage’s™ software is highly scalable via conventional industry standard relational databases. The technology is currently available in C++ and .NET and Java.
Advanced R&D
VoiceVantage™ is committed to continually advancing voice technology to remain in an industry-leading position. VoiceVantage™ combines the knowledge from dedicated R & D efforts, joint university-based research, and leading speech technologists to create the industry’s most dedicated research program.
VoiceCheck™ Is a Software Development Kit for Every Environment:
The VoiceCheck™ v3.2 SDK provides object-oriented C++, .NET Framework 4.8, .NET Core 8 and Java interfaces. It includes 64-bit builds and sample C++, C# and Java source demonstrating how to make use of the various methods in the SDK.
VoiceCheck™ ODBC
The VoiceCheck™ SDK is now available with SQL Database Persistence via a replacement for the Flat-File version of VC_Database.DLL. Please note the following regarding this new option:
VoiceCheck™ ODBC allows storage of all VoiceCheck™ data in a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Currently the following RDBMSs are supported:
RDBMS Version Windows Linux Notes Microsoft SQL Server 2019 ✔ ✔ Linux tested using connection to database instance running
on windowsMySQL 8.0.28 ✔ ✔ Windows tested using connection to database instance
running on LinuxOracle 21c ✔ ✔ Linux tested using connection to database instance running
on WindowsPostgreSQL 12.10 ✔ ✔ Windows tested using connection to database instance
running on Windows- VoiceCheck™ ODBC enables scalability by allowing data to be stored in a database of your choice. Tables can coexist with other data in the same application database; or they can be stored in a separate database on the same server, or a different server.
- Multi-threaded/multi-process support is enabled in VoiceCheck™ ODBC.
- The VC_Database and VC_DatabaseUser classes have the same interface for VoiceCheck™ ODBC as for the Flat-File storage option.
- Minimal changes are required in order to provide a database user ID and database user password to the VC_Database instance constructor. Also, instead of supplying a path name as the database name of the VC_Database instance constructor, a ODBC DSN should be used.
- VoiceCheck™ tables are automatically created in the database instance given in the VC_Database instance constructor
VoiceCheck™ for Telephony
Your company's call center costs are out of control. By the looks of it, customer service representatives spend almost all of their time simply verifying a caller's identity.
