    According to a news release on the Nuance site:
    Speaker verification improves corporate security by authenticating callers based upon the unique physical characteristics of a caller’s voice, which is extremely difficult to duplicate, versus relying exclusively on information that is easy to share, lose or have stolen. It provides an added layer of security for applications used in the financial services, government, insurance and healthcare industries by comparing a caller’s voiceprint with a stored reference voiceprint that the caller has previously provided, as well as requiring knowledge of the correct pass-phrase.
