Elmo-Tech & Persay Cooperate to Develop a Voice Verification Product for the Corrections Market

TEL-AVIV, ISREAL - Elmo-Tech Ltd., a provider of electronic monitoring technologies, and Persay, a provider of voice authentication platform, reveal that Persay's advanced voice authentication solution, Orpheus, will be integrated into Elmo-Tech's monitoring platform. Voice authentication is used in the law enforcement and corrections industries for the positive confirmation of offenders' presence in their home, after a relevant court order has been imposed. Integrating Persay voice authentication capability into Elmo-Tech advanced monitoring software, will enable Elmo-Tech to add a passive monitoring tool, complementing its array of active monitoring tools offered to its clients in the law enforcement and corrections industries. Voice verification is used in cases, where active monitoring is not required. Voice verification systems utilize a phone line and do not require the installation of field monitoring units in the offender's residence. Persay's Orpheus voice authentication platform is designed to support real life conditions, including background noise and natural voice or accent variations. It has been proven to sustain optimal performance level over different telephony networks and systems. The Orpheus platform is language independent, thus guaranteeing Elmo-Tech the needed flexibility for its multi-lingual monitoring software application development. "We found Persay's voice authentication solution to be a consistently reliable product, meeting the demands of the corrections industry" said Doron Yassur Elmo-Tech's CEO. "We believe that the integration of Persay's technology into our monitoring platform will provide our customers a leading-edge biometric based speaker authentication ability, broadening our product offering." Persay's CEO, Almog Aley-Raz, added, "The agreement with Elmo-Tech demonstrates Persay's continuing efforts to enable new services and applications utilizing its award-winning voice authentication platform. Undertaking this cooperation, opens for Persay a channel to yet another emerging market, which requires a fast and secure voice verification solution. We trust our product performance to meet the corrections market most stringent demands."
