"Experian has launched a voice biometric hosted ID verification service pitched at customer call centres. The VoiceCheck service uses technology provided by biometrics specialist VoiceVault to detect more than 100 physiological metrics, such as size of nasal cavity, to determine whether the subject is who they claim to be. This prevents fraudsters spoofing the system with a voice recording of the subject. Participants have to register a voice recording to opt in to the scheme."
