Forensic voice identification

by Harry Francis Hollien

"Voice-based evidence is an important part of many criminal investigations and has commonly included such things as threats left on an answering machine, a robbery caught on videotape, or a confession recorded during a police interrogation. In the technological age of mobile telephones, voicemail, and voice-recognition software applications, the potential for voice-based evidence continues to increase." "Forensic Voice Identification is designed for the experts who must be able to properly handle this type of evidence, decipher what is said, and identify the people who have been recorded. It outlines practical methods for voice identification and covers key areas such as authentication of speech recordings and voice stress analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
