Old MacDonald Had a Farm…with Voice Biometrics

A recent article on TMCnet.com described how some farmers in India are using voice biometrics to manage contract farming without being physically present.

According to the item, “farmers make a call to their organization's central "Voice ERP" system and feed in information they want to share with tillers. The information gets stored in the database and gets converted into text. The system then generates an SMS, which is sent to the mobile phones of the tillers.” The article goes on to say that “farmers are provided unique identity codes to ensure only authorized people access an organization's Voice ERP database. For additional security, a voice biometrics check can also be performed.”

The "Voice ERP" system is provided by
Uniphore Software Systems.
