... active voice biometrics refers to when the individual must create a passphrase, which the software analyzes to create a voiceprint, targeted to the phrase. This is a form of multi-factor authentication.

[...] on parle de biométrie vocale active lorsque l'individu doit créer une phrase passe que le logiciel analyse pour créer une empreinte vocale dépendante de la phrase. Il s'agit d'une forme d'authentification multifacteur. La biométrie vocale passive, quant à elle, consiste en un logiciel de reconnaissance qui fonctionne en arrière-plan peu importe les paroles prononcées et qui n'exige pas que l'utilisateur prononce une phrase précise. 1, record 3, French, - biom%C3%A9trie%20vocale%20passive

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 3, Spanish, - biometr%C3%ADa%20de%20voz%20pasiva
