VoiceVault has joined forces with Opus Research to bring you this challenge for which a prize of $1,000 will be awarded at the Opus Research Voice Biometrics Conference in Amsterdam on March 24.

Lee Cottle, global executive vice president at VoiceVault, says: "We’re looking for the application or service that uses the mobile device to make the best and most original use of voice biometrics."  He adds: "We want to see device characteristics being used to their best advantage, especially in what they bring to multifactor authentication. We want to see innovation, creativity and business acumen – where the use of voice biometrics in an application enhances it or the user experience associated with it. And of course that raises the bar in how voice biometric technology on smartphone platforms will really drive adoption in the future (and enrich our lives for the better!)."

VoiceVault believes  this challenge will be a great showcase for developers and their organizations and as a platform for promoting individual talents and capabilities.  We are also committed to working with the winner, and worthy entrants, to explore commercial opportunities for the application.
