Introduction Problem context Algorithms or Methods (cont.) FEATURES

Speaker recognition is the process of automatically recognizing who is
speaking on the basis of individual information included in speech waves. This
technique makes it possible to use the speaker's voice to verify their identity.
As many studies examined the progress made in implementing voice
