AVIOS Offers New Technology Forum on Voice Biometrics

DATE San Jose, CA. The Applied Voice Input/Output Society (AVIOS) today announced the formation of the Voice Biometrics Technology Forum. The VB Tech Forum is designed to construct a coherent infrastructure for designing, developing, and deploying effective VB applications and services. It will accomplish this goal by advancing developers ability to incorporate technical, social, and legal into their VB solutions.

“There is no single source for guiding developers through the maze of technical options let alone abide by legislative, regulatory, social, and cultural issues that affect the viability and success of VB deployments,” explains Dr. Judith Markowitz, chair of the new VB Tech Forum. “This forum is designed to build such a resource for developers within AVIOS.”

The work of the VB Tech Forum will include communication about and understanding of the following

w state-of-the art of VB technology for telephony and non-telephony environments

w best practices for developing a VB business case, development team, and solution

w security and privacy regulation and legislation that affect VB deployments

w performance in adverse conditions (e.g., mobile environments)

w social, cultural, and ethical considerations

w testing and evaluation of designs and deployments

w standards, such as EMMA, MRCP V2, VoiceXML 3.X, INCITS 456, and ISO 19092

All developers, managers, security specialists, and others interested in VB solutions are invited to participate in this forum. To participate, contact the Forum Chair, Judith Markowitz at judith@jmarkowitz.com
