"Biometrics on mobile devices has moved from a curiosity to a must have for high end smartphones," said Alan Goode, Managing Director of Goode Intelligence. "Voice biometric authentication like AGNITiO Voice iD is not only a natural addition to smart devices, it offers more security and convenience than existing speech and voice recognition technologies for a wide range of devices including mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, PCs, gaming systems (handheld and console), smart TVs, fixed line telephones and even automobiles."

Backed by the latest quantitative and qualitative research from Goode Intelligence, the report explains the inter-connected drivers that have created an environment where voice biometrics can be easily integrated into smart mobile devices and serve alongside other technologies in a multi-factor scenario. "The mobile device market is ready for Voice iD as another convenient modality of authentication," said Mike Goldgof, Vice President of Marketing for AGNITiO. "Voice is the preferred authentication method according to global surveys, and has already been proven as a secure form of authentication by millions of users in multi-factor applications including call center and proof of life scenarios."
