Hallelujah! “DevNation” has started to understand and appreciate voice biometric authentication. The latest example comes from America’s heartland – Lawrence, KS – where a company called Disruptive Technologies has cobbled together a solution will enable bloggers on the WordPress platform to use voiceprints, rather than passwords to gain access to their accounts.

Disruptive has gone further by taking on the three-step process of (1) gaining access to VoiceVault’s API for cloud-based authentication, (2) leveraging Voxeo’s Tropo platform to house a library of scripts that support enrollment of voiceprints and subsequent voice-based authentication and finally (3) as a use case that many bloggers can understand, Disruptive built a mechanism for bloggers using WordPress to have visitors enroll their voiceprints as a replacement for passwords.

True to its name, Disruptive has loaded its library of (php-based) scripts to the code sharing platform GitHub. This means that WordPress mavens can install the voice authentication routines as a WordPress “plug-in.” It doesn’t solve many of the issues involved with getting people to register their voiceprints. But it’s a start toward expanding voice biometrics’ footprint.
