A Method of Automatic Speaker Recognition Using Cepstral Features and Vectorial Quantization

Automatic Speaker Recognition techniques are increasing the use of the speaker’s voice to control access to personalized telephonic services. This paper describes the use of vector quantization as a feature matching method, in an automatic speaker recognition system, evaluated with speech samples from a SALA Spanish Venezuelan database for fixed telephone network. Results obtained reflect a good performance of the method in a text independent job in the context of sequences of digits.
