Abstract

A tutorial on the design and development of automatic speaker-recognition systems is presented. Automatic speaker recognition is the use of a machine to recognize a person from a spoken phrase. These systems can operate in two modes: to identify a particular person or to verify a person’s claimed identity. Speech processing and the basic components of automatic speakerrecognition systems are shown and design tradeoffs are discussed. Then, a new automatic speaker-recognition system is given. This recognizer performs with 98.9 % correct identification. Last, the performances of various systems are compared.
