Introduction to Speaker IdentificationFor testing purposes, we had five sounds that the system would test – three vowel sounds, and two words. Each member of the group tested a each sound 5 times. The possible results for a test are as follows: match (M), meaning the system identified the speaker correctly; incorrect match (IM), meaning the system identified the speaker incorrectly; or no match (NM) meaning the speaker did not find the correct speaker in the database.

Overall, the system identified speakers correctly 67% of the time. On an individual basis, Matt McDonell was recognized most often (72%), Damen Hattori and Josh Long were recognized correctly equally as often (68%) and Chris Pasich was recognized correctly with the least frequency (60%). Overall, however, all speakers were identified at a fairly good rate, given the complexity of the system.
