Speech Classification

Challenge

A question arised to authenticate a user’s gender for more personalised experience in application. But what can be the natural identifier of a user’s gender ? and at the same time be it spoof proof so someone with false gender identity cant bypass. Visual solutions were off the table as people don’t tend to be comfortable in sharing their pictures.

Solution

Speech !. Yes, a user’s voice contains their gender characteristics, so we use the user’s voice to identify the genders. To fool proof this system we further take our RnD up a notch and convert the speech to text too. Now we show the user a text phrase and the user says it. To complete the process the phrase shown and the phrase said need to be similar.
