A few days ago, we launched a new version of the voice coherence demo, in which you can check whose voice among famous Polish athletes is closest to yours. Our list includes the names of such Olympians as Iga Świątek, Michał Kwiatkowski, Anita Włodarczyk and Hubert Hurkacz. In total, we selected as many as 20 people from 13 different disciplines.

How does the demo work?
To check who your voice is similar to, just visit the website https://demo.biometriq.pl:8443/ and read the text we have prepared, the reading time of which is only 30 seconds. During this time, we record a voice sample, which is simultaneously compared with the voices of selected 20 athletes. The results are displayed immediately in a column in the form of % convergence.

The result may show:
=> significant % convergence with only one person
=> show no convergence, then the table will remain unchanged and 0 will be shown everywhere
=> convergence with several people (this happens most often).

Remember that voices may be confusingly similar to each other, but not biometrically consistent. Conversely, they may be biometrically consistent but not audibly similar. This is because the human ear primarily perceives the intensity and tone of sound along with the location of its source, and biometric systems extract from the audio stream and analyze several features that make the analyzed voice unique.

What does biometric integrity testing give us and when is it helpful?

The algorithm used in this exercise may be used commercially in the future in systems for verifying the identity of people and detecting voice-based fraud, the so-called deepfakes. This model is constantly being developed and improved by us to be as effective and reliable as possible, which is associated with obtaining a probability of assessing the speaker’s truthfulness of over 90%.

From January 2024 We are implementing the Vesper project, which aims to create an innovative voice communicator. We informed about the project here https://biometriq.pl/en/vesper-save-voice-communication-platform-with-integration-of-biometric-services/

The aim of the first stage of the project, completed on December 31 this year, is to develop an innovative method for detecting the truthfulness of the speaker and the transmitting voice stream.
Implementing this method in the messenger will allow you to assess the compatibility of the interlocutor communicating, among others, smartphone or computer according to your expectations and prevent voice attacks.

And what we did?

1. We have developed the structure of the subsystem.

2. We have developed preliminary requirements for a methodology for detecting the veracity of the far-end voice source based on the received signal in the near-end device.

3. We have developed guidelines for measurement methodologies, taking into account the statistical significance of the results.
4. We have developed a preliminary version of research procedures taking into account the developed research scenarios for stage 1.

Scenarios and research procedures were developed taking into account the state of scientific knowledge at the time of work.

5. We have prepared a dataset for training neural networks.

6. We carried out the first training of neural networks and the selection and optimization of cost functions.
7. We performed a detailed analysis of QoE assessment methodologies in connection with qualitative objective parameters and proposed the framework of our own solution in this area.
8. We analyzed the possibilities of controlling and intervening in the audio path for mobile phones available on the market.
9. We have prepared and configured the first version of the VESPER test platform based on the Signal framework for Windows and Android.
10. We rented a DSP laboratory

11. We acquired a speech corpus for testing

12. We have purchased Voice Conversion engine licenses
