VoiceVault today announced the Smartphone Developer Program for VoiceVault Enterprise, which is designed to provide the company's partners with all of the tools and resources necessary to develop voice biometric-enabled smartphone applications based on its VoiceVault Enterprise technology platform.

The program supports a wide range of smartphone platforms, including (but not limited to) iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.

The VoiceVault Enterprise voice biometric enrollment, authentication, and signature components are currently provided via 3G or WiFi networks, but these will shortly be supplemented with an embedded on-device capability. This embedded functionality will enable apps on ‘offline’ devices to also leverage voice biometric functionality.

Several sample applications have already been developed within the program that demonstrate, for example, how to supplement key-entry password security used for logging into an app with a voice biometric password, and how any transaction or approval process on a smartphone can be voice-enabled using our VoiceSign biometric voice signature technology.

VoiceVault provides SOAP and REST APIs for all of the core biometric and management functionality. These are provided along with smartphone-platform-independent sample code and comprehensive documentation.
