On March 23-24, 2011, Opus Research will convene the sixth Voice Biometric Conference in Amsterdam NL. According to Opus Research, this year’s conference will "showcase the ever-expanding set of present solutions and future opportunities for voice biometrics to support authentication for mobile carriers and contact center operators at banks, insurance companies, government agencies and telecommunications firms, as well as identification opportunities and other forensic applications for law enforcement agencies around the world."

Voice Biometrics Conference 2010
I just returned from the annual Voice Biometrics Conference – where the key players of the voice biometrics industry gathered to compare notes, present case studies and discuss future plans. Kudos to the Opus Research team -- Dan Miller, Derek Top and Pete Headrick -- for orchestrating an excellent event.
Over the next week, or so, I plan to share some new case studies that should resolve any lingering concerns about the efficacy of voice biometrics technology. The bottom line is that voice biometrics systems have been deployed at leading organizations throughout the world, and are successfully identifying and verifying individuals by their voice 24/7.
My take away from the conference is as follows: the voice biometrics industry offers an excellent solution, with a compelling value proposition, but still appears to be treading water in the market place.

Opus Research: Voice Biometrics Webcast Recap
Dan Miller and Derek Top, Opus Research, along with Paul Heirendt, CEO of TradeHarbor, presented a Webcast yesterday titled “Meeting New Demands for User Authentication.”
The central theme was that voice biometrics should be seen as an enabling technology (i.e., for transactions and interactions) over a number of channels and networks. Paul presented several examples, including:
• Identity and authentication – voice biometrics authenticates that the person is actually who they claim to be
• Increased customer convenience and reduced operations costs – live agent knowledge-based authentication takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes while voice biometrics authentication takes less than 9 seconds
• Privacy protection – voice biometrics strengthens authentication which can lead to a stronger privacy protection policy

Updated Voice Biometrics Market Forecast through 2014
Yesterday, I posted projections for the global voice biometrics market (2009-2011). Derek Top, of Opus Research, was kind enough to send me a revised forecast covering the years 2008-2014.
As you can see from the chart, the market is expected to grow from $124 million (2009) to $260 million (2014). This represents a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 16%. According to the chart, the steepest growth is expected to occur between 2010-2011. So let's make this the year of voice biometrics!

Voice Biometrics Market Projections (2009–2011)
According to ThirdFactor, Opus Research predicts the voice biometrics market will grow from $139.4 million (2009) to $225.8 million in 2010, to $260.1 million in 2011. This represents a substantial 62% increase 2009-2010, but only a 15% increase 2010-2011.
I’m puzzled by the % growth decrease (i.e., 62%-->15%) projected for next year. I would expect % growth to continue increasing once voice biometrics systems gain momentum in the marketplace.
What say you?
