VoiceKey has been designed to analyze voices by over 100 parameters and can prevent unauthorized access to an account even if the user’s voice is recorded.

The user’s three to four seconds long phrase which contains 10-12 syllables is recorded to analyse their voice features. The approved phrase is later used for accessing the account or confirmation of payment based on enabled VoiceKey options.

VoiceKey, which includes noise canceling and voice detection technology, will be available in English, French, Spanish, Russian, German, Chinese and Korean languages.

Worldcore said that voice biometrics have the ability to prevent spoofing during data leak and are based on text-dependent characteristics.
