US Patent 10255923 Seamless text-dependent enrollment

Methods and systems for transforming a text-independent enrolment of a customer in a self-service system into a text-dependent enrolment are provided. A request for authentication of a customer that is enrolled in the self-service system with a text-independent voice print is received. A request is transmitted to the customer to repeat a passphrase and the customer's response is received as an audio stream of the passphrase. The customer is authenticated by comparing the audio stream of the passphrase against the text-independent voice print and if the customer is authenticated then a text-dependent voice print is created based on the passphrase, otherwise discard the audio stream of the passphrase.
