Voice biometrics is here to help.
Nuance has released Dragon ID, a voice biometrics technology that lets users unlock mobile devices and consumer electronics by voice alone. Dragon ID enables manufacturers to secure and personalize access to phones, tablets, apps, and PCs with a simple spoken word or phrase.
According to a recent consumer survey by Nuance, 96 percent of respondents stated they often make mistakes typing their passwords into their mobile phones. With Dragon ID, people can simply create a spoken password or passphrase, offering a secure and convenient way to wake up and access devices. For instance, just saying “Hello Dragon” can securely turn on a device and instantly launch a personalized home screen with favorite apps and content, even on shared devices like tablets or PCs.
“Consumer devices and the experiences they deliver are incredibly personal—and with that comes a need for greater security,” said Michael Thompson, executive vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile, in a statement. “Nuance’s innovative Dragon ID further humanizes the mobile experience, leveraging a person’s unique voice to secure and access their device, and keeping the content they rely on each day private and personal.”
Nuance’s voice biometrics authentication technology is already used by the world’s leading enterprises, carriers, banks, and government institutions, with over 20 million voiceprints enrolled globally.
Dragon ID is available for consumer device OEMs, initially supporting English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean for Android and other platforms, with additional language availability later this year.
