Automatic recognition of speakers from their voices
Bishnu Saroop Atal · Proceedings of the IEEE · 1976
This paper presents a survey of automatic speaker recognition techniques. The paper indudes a discussion of the speaker-dependent properties of the speech signal, methods for selecting an efficient set of speech measurements, results of experimental studies illustrating the performance of various methods of speaker recognition, and a comparision of the performance of automatic methods with that of human listeners. Both text-dependent as well as text-independent speaker-recognition techniques are discussed.
