La diferencia entre la biometría de voz activa y la biometría de voz pasiva radica en la participación del usuario al ser reconocida su voz. Aquí, no es necesario que el usuario diga unas palabras o frases concretas, sino que basta con que hable y diga cualquier cosa durante unos segundos. [...] En este método se extreman los vectores y factores que interpretan la información sonora, lo que lo convierte en un método de identificación seguro e infalible al mismo tiempo que sencillo para el usuario. No importa el texto o ni siquiera el idioma en el que hable, con controles de seguridad que detectan voces pregrabadas. 1, record 4, Spanish, - biometr%C3%ADa%20de%20voz%20pasiva
