Biometric technology has a deep impact on the security industry, with most of the major corporation use it to strengthen their security frameworks. Along with other biometric devices using fingerprints and iris scans to allow access to the user, voice authentication has also gained popularity in recent years. But like any new revolutionary technology, voice recognition biometrics is also surrounded by numerous myths and misconceptions.


So, without wasting any times, let’s shed some light into the matter and find out why voice authentication based access control system are safer and more reliable, despite most of the people believing otherwise.

But like any other password, our password for the voice authentication biometric device will be safe even if someone overhears you. The reason, your voice print.
    Unlike any PIN, password or even your fingerprints, your voice print is unique and even if the other person knows your password, without your voice print, they can’t get access. Even if someone sounds exactly like you, they can’t fool the system and there have been various tests to prove that.

  2.
