What are voiceprint phrases?

Simply put, these are unique phrases that have been created for our API. They’re used with our speech-to-text engines, in addition to the text-dependent voice biometric engines, to uphold the highest level of security.

What makes a good voiceprint phrase?

Contrary to popular belief, ‘my voice is my password’ is actually not a secure phrase. Due to the repeating sounds and lengths, it doesn’t meet our standards. We use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a guide. Thus, approved phrases contain enough IPA phonetic data to allow for an accurate voiceprint. Remember that your phrase needs a minimum of 10 syllables and should have no repeating IPA phonemes. Examples include:

• Never forget tomorrow is a new day
• Today is a nice day to go for a walk
