Telecom Lead America: AGNITIO has launched KIVOX mobile,
a new product for secure authentication in mobile devices using a
person’s voice.
The company showcased the capabilities of this new
software during the Voice Biometric Conference held in New York.
During the conference, AGNITIO also demonstrated the
ability of its technology to conduct streaming free speech voice identification
in a mobile Android device with no connection to a network. Such a product is
currently available for government customers and will be released for use in
commercial devices by the end of the year.
The new software is able to perform a voice
authentication on Android Smartphones or tablets without being connected
to a network.
KIVOX mobile will bring voice authentication closer to
the user. You will teach your device to recognize your voice, whenever you want
and at the pace you want. The device will improve its recognition
capabilities over time, and you will be able to test how it works in multiple
situations ,” said Emilio Martinez, CEO of AGNITIO.
KIVOX mobile will be available for developers and users
by the end of May, first for Android platforms and later on for iOS.
Smartphones have already morphed into
highly-personalized tools for everyday commerce, often housing all contact
information, appointment calendars and banking information, in addition to
Angry Birds Space. AGNITIO’s KIVOX mobile has connected the dots between spoken
words, strong user authentication and the personalization of mobile devices,
applications and services,” said Dan Miller from Opus Research and organizer of
the Voice Biometrics Conference.
This initial version will enable users to create their
own identification phrase and then use it later for verification.
