A new method of text-independent speaker recognition

Text-independent speaker recognition methods have been based on measurements of long-term statistics of individual speech frames. These methods are not capable of modeling speaker-dependent speech dynamics. In this paper, we describe a new method, based on template matching, that utilizes temporal information to advantage. The template-matching method performs text-dependent recognition as a special case. Performance of the template-matching method is compared with that of similar recently-developed methods.
