Voice Recognition
The FBI's voice recognition program has provided investigators with important leads in investigative casework for almost half a century. This program, led by the Operational Technology Division, works to recognize individuals by their voices in order to provide investigative guidance to FBI Field Offices, as well as other local, state, federal, and international law enforcement agencies. Realizing the potential of voice recognition, the FBI has funded applied research and development projects for more than a decade to achieve its long-term goal of automating voice biometric capabilities.
