A system and method of providing voice authentication to institutional customers having consumers or users. The system includes an enrollment module, a verification module, and a database. Each institutional customer has an authentication profile on the system that includes both i) instructions indicating which one or more of the voice biometric engines are to be used for a given consumer's enrollment and / or authentication, and ii) variables for implementing those instructions. A given institutional customer may have more than one set of instructions or variables for different classes of users. Vocal information is received from a user, and a baseline voiceprint is constructed therefrom for enrollment. Subsequently, more vocal information is received from the user to construct a temporary voiceprint. The temporary voiceprint is compared to a corresponding baseline voiceprint in accordance with the institutional customer's authentication profile. The profile is preferably remotely configurable by the institutional customer.

A system is disclosed for enabling communication between server resources and a wide spectrum of end-terminals to enable users access to the resources of both converged and non-converged networks via voice and / or electronically generated commands. An electronic personal assistant (ePA) incorporates generalizing / abstracting communications channels, data and resources provided through a converged computer / telephony system interface such that the data and resources are readily accessed by a variety of interface formats including a voice interface or data interface. A set of applications provide dual interfaces for rendering services and data based upon the manner in which a user accesses the data. An electronic personal assistant in accordance with an embodiment of the invention provides voice / data access to web pages, email, file shares, etc.The electronic personal assistant enables a user to transmit voice commands to a voice-based resource server to provide information accessible to the resource server. In accordance with an aspect of an embodiment of the invention, a user is authenticated by receiving vocal responses by a user to one or more requests variably selected and issued by a speaker recognition-based authentication facility. Thereafter, an application proxy is created. The application proxy acts on behalf of the authenticated authorized user.In accordance with particular aspects of the specific embodiments of the invention, a set of remotely accessed voice applications are provided. One such application comprises a personal interactive multimedia response (IMR). Each user configures a personal IMR system. In a converged network environment, the user is provided access to the IMR through a personal computer interface, web interface, instant message, e-mail, as well as a voice user interface over a telephone connection.A configurable distributed conference bridge is another potential application incorporated within the converged network architecture model of the present invention. The distributed conference bridge enables local conference resources to be utilized and incorporates external service bureau conference bridge resources when needed to supplement the internal conference bridge resources of a system.
