And since phones already come equipped with the appropriate capture device for voice input, voice biometrics are set to provide the ease of implementation and low costs required for mass-market deployments. When a customer rings the bank, his/her true identity can automatically be verified through a series of sophisticated algorithms that are used to compare his voice with a corresponding reference voiceprint
