Madrid, Spain

Agnitio is delighted to announce an updated release of its BS3 product that is best suited for massive interception and intelligence systems. BS3 is pioneering speaker identification software used to spot target speakers within massive interception and intelligence systems
AGNITIO’s Biometric Speaker Spotting System (BS3) is packaged as a software library with a well defined application programming interface (API) that can be integrated into small to large massive interception and intelligence systems.

BS3 enables the following capabilities:
 Training of selected target speaker voices
 Spotting of selected target speakers among given input audios
 Supports any language or dialect

Spotted audios are returned with associated target matching scores, which are compared with pre-defined threshold levels that trigger alarms in related massive interception and intelligence system.

Enhanced features in this release include the following:
Improved performance: An increase in speed that allows up to 1200 hours of analysis per day with a single processor
Automated re-calibration process: An automated re-calibration process tunes the BS3 engine when adding new targets to the system in order to reduce false positives and negatives.
Superior automated filtering and classification methods for large amounts of data: BS3 significantly reduces the number of calls required for analysis and is capable of spotting a high number of target speakers simultaneously when filtering calls.

"We believe our updated product release is focused on providing the best voice biometric speaker spotting solution to technology partners allowing for seamless integration. We have developed the most robust voice biometric engine ideally suited for massive interception and intelligence systems BS3 is designed to be scalable, text, channel and language independent.” Alberto Martín de los Santos – Director of Product Engineering
