VICTORIA (UPC) - The
human voice is like a
fingerprint — no two are

exactly alike.

And, say two experts in

the field, if the = right
equipment was available,
voice prints could be

recorded and filed to obtain
the same kind of positive
identification provided by
fingerprints. ,

y

British Columbia linguist
Henry Warkentyne§ and
Craig Dickson. a graduate
student at the University of
Victoria, have given
themselves three years, at a
cost of about $45,000 per
year, to prove the theory.
They are seeking financial
help.

Working out of a
laboratory at the university,

Warkentyne and Dickson
are building a computer-
controlled speaker

recognition system capable
of correctly recognizing and
identifying the differeneces
in human speech patterns

Scientiftc arguments
about the theuvretical daf-
ferences have been going on
for years. Warkentyne said
but if his project ts sue
cessful, ou) will bring the
arguments toanend

Royal wedding rumour

“Our appruach its to try
and settle the = scientific
arguments by isolating those
speech sounds of an in-
dividual which cant be
shared with other voices,” he
said.

Using a computer,
Warkentyne and Dickson
are subjecting taped voices
of volunteers to mtensive
comparison and analysis in
an attempt to catalogue the
differences.

“Identifying and tsolatng
the exact sounds to be
studied is a major part of the
work at this stage of the
project,” Dtekson said.

He said the emphasis is
being placed on aasal
consonants, such as "N° and”
‘M’ and the fricative con-
sonants ‘S' and ‘Z’.

Speakers may easily vary
certain speech sounds by
altering the pitch, tone
patterns and speed of ut-
terance or by changing the
movements of jaw, tongue
and lps. Dickson said. But
they cannot control the
nasal consonants

It as thought that) these
speech sounds are controlled
by the anatomical = of

habitual differences between
people he said) They cannot
be consistently altered by

ing voices

people attempting to
disguise their voices or by
emotional stress and Ulness.

“Every human speech
mechanism ts thought to be
shghtlv different and has
different resonating
Capacities for producing
sounds,” Dickson said.

“Just as itis highly unlikely
that there are two absolutely
identical human faces, it is
highly improbable that two
speech tracts would ever be
exacitly the same =o and
produce identical vibrations
and resonances.”

Warkentyne said if their
project is successful, the
resulting system would be
useful to banks and law-
enforcement agencies.

“Tt would enable banks to
identify people wishing to
cash cheques by telephone.”
he said.

Warkentyne said the
process would control access
to Computer storage banks
where entry was through a
spoken word and could be
used as oan identification

system by law-enforcement
apenctes adding that the
RCMP had expressed tn-
