voice identification

Recognizing someone's speech

Voice identification is the process of recognizing or verifying a person's identity based on their voice.

The term covers both human recognition—I knew it was my sister by voice identification alone—and automated systems that analyze vocal characteristics for security purposes, as when unlocking a phone or authorizing a transaction.
