Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for verifying a user are disclosed. A speech-controlled device captures a spoken command, and sends audio data corresponding thereto to a server. The server performs ASR on the audio data to determine ASR confidence data. The server, in parallel, performs user verification on the audio data to determine user verification confidence data. The server may modify the user verification confidence data using the ASR confidence data. In addition or alternatively, the server may modify the user verification confidence data using at least one of a location of the speech-controlled device within a building, a type of the speech-controlled device, or a geographic location of the speech-controlled device.
