Recognition systems are commonly designed to authenticate users at the access
control levels of a system. A number of voice recognition methods have been
developed using a pitch estimation process which are very vulnerable in low
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) environments thus, these programs fail to provide
the desired level of accuracy and robustness. Also, most text independent
speaker recognition programs are incapable of coping with unauthorized attempts
to gain access by tampering with the samples or reference database.
