Abstract

See full text

This application describes methods and apparatus for generating a prompt to be presented to a user for the user to vocalise as part of speaker recognition. An apparatus according to an embodiment has a selector for selecting at least one vocal prompt element to form at least part of said prompt from a predetermined set of a plurality of vocal prompt elements. The selector is configured to select the vocal prompt element based, at least partly, on an indication of the operating conditions for the biometric speaker recognition, for example background noise. The prompt is selected to be one which will provide a good likelihood of discrimination between users when vocalised and used for speaker recognition in the current operating conditions. The prompt may be issued as part of a verification process for an existing user or an enrolment process for an enrolling user.
