Law enforcement agencies across the country are now adding massive voice databases to their surveillance grids.

The US government is now working with a company that designs state of the art voice recognition software and plans to implement that software nationwide.

The software has already been rolled out inover 70 countries and is ominously called “voice grid nation“.
It takes just five seconds to scan through 10,000 voices and can conduct up to 100 searches at the same time.
It is also uses an algorithm that automatically compares “voice models against voice recording obtained from different sources such as cell phones, land lines, covert recordings and recorded investigative interviews.”
Although this software has been distributed worldwide the company that produces it is actually based out of Russia.  In Russia they operate under the name of Speech Technology Center while in the US they are called SpeechPro.
According to theSpeechPro whitepaper published in 2011, the company had a “commitment from a State Justice Agency to deploy a pilot system for the purposes of performance studies and further development of best practices for obtaining voice samples in a booking environment”.
