VoiceVault, a developer of voice-based biometric solutions, has announced its voice biometric Smartphone Developer Program for VoiceVault Enterprise.

In addition to the services and tools VoiceVault is providing users of the program, they have prepared sample programs that show how their system can replace existing key-based passwords as well as how transactions can be approved via voice biometrics. [end]
