Abstract

A text-prompted speaker verification system that can be configured by users based on a desired level of security. A user is prompted for a multiple-digit (or multiple-word) password. The number of digits or words used for each password is defined by the system in accordance with a user set preferred level of security. The level of training required by the system is defined by the user in accordance with a preferred level of security. The set of words used to generate passwords can also be user configurable based upon the desired level of security. The level of security associated with the frequency of false accept errors verses false reject errors is user configurable for each particular application.
