a voice input, which obtains speech data; and a first communication unit, connected to the voice input, which transmits information concerning the speech data; a voice recognition system, operably connected to receive user information from a voice information database, comprising:
a second communication unit for receiving the information concerning the speech data from the first communication unit; and a processing unit for providing output information concerning voice recognition between the input speech data and the user information from the voice information database.
- 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the client terminal further comprises:
a preprocessor connected to the voice input; a feature extraction unit, connected to the preprocessor and to the first communication unit, wherein the feature extraction unit extracts the information concerning the speech data, and wherein the processing unit utilizes the extracted information concerning the speech data.
- 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first communication unit can receive output information, wherein the voice recognition system transmits output information to the client terminal, and the client terminal contains an output unit for indicating the output information.
- 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the output unit is a display and wherein the input unit is a microphone.
- 5. The system of claim 2, wherein the client terminal is a point of sale terminal, and wherein the first and second communication units are connected by a telephone line.
- 6. The system of claim 2, wherein the first and second communication units are connected by a call center.
- 7. The system of claim 2, wherein the call center is connected to the first communication unit by a vendor retail service bridge.
- 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the voice input is a telephone input, the first communication unit can receive output information, the voice recognition system transmits output information to the client terminal, and wherein the client terminal contains a switch which connects a telephone network to the telephone input upon successful voice recognition.
- 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the telephone input is connected to a telephone set located in a prison.
- 10. The system of claim 2, wherein the client terminal is a personal computer, wherein the first and second communication units are connected through a vendor web page and a call center, and wherein the vendor web page provides the personal computer with internet access in the event of successful voice recognition.
- 11. The system of claim 2, wherein the first and second communication units are connected through a firewall, and wherein the firewall provides the client terminal with access to a protected network in the event of successful voice recognition.
- 12. The system of claim 2, wherein the first and second communication units are connected through a web server and recognition management server, and wherein the recognition management server provides the client terminal with access to a restricted hyperlink in the event of successful voice recognition.
- 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the first and second communication units are interfaces on a desktop computer, and wherein the entire system is located on the desktop computer.
- 14. The system of claim 2, wherein the client terminal is a client terminal, wherein the first and second communication units are connected through a networked server, and wherein the network server provides the client terminal with access to a protected network in the event of successful voice recognition.
- 15. The system of claim 14, wherein successful voice recognition includes first level authentication.
