Voice Biometrics Hub

Voice Biometrics Hub allows you to manage the connections between CXone Mpower and your voice biometric provider. When you add a connection to a voice biometric provider, you provide the information CXone Mpower needs to communicate with the provider. This is one step in the process of integrating voice biometrics into CXone Mpower.

You can use voice biometrics to authenticate contacts The person interacting with an agent, IVR, or bot in your contact center. on voice channels A way for contacts to interact with agents or bots. A channel can be voice, email, chat, social media, and so on.. This method uses voiceprints to authenticate contacts over the phone. Every person has a unique voiceprint, just as they have unique fingerprints. It only takes 0.5 to 3 seconds of normal, conversational speech for a voice biometric service to determine if the caller is who they claim to be.

Currently, CXone Mpower supports a passive methodology for voice biometrics. This means the voice biometrics provider uses ordinary conversational speech to verify the contact's identity. An active methodology requires the contact to speak a specific pass phrase, so the phrase and the voiceprint much match. Voice Biometrics Hub does not currently support an active methodology.

You can use voice biometric authentication with live and virtual agents, as well as with your IVR Automated phone menu that allows callers to interact through voice commands, key inputs, or both, to obtain information, route an inbound voice call, or both. menus.
