I worked for a company working on audio fingerprinting before (as well as image/video). I have to say it's great that we have a song (audio) recognition system that works pretty well, but the business never takes off. May be it's just my previous company as I'm not sure how Shazam is doing, but I haven't heard of them for a while

I was surprised that a lot of my friends still have Shazam on their phones - but it's the kind of app they only need once in a blue moon.

Rather then just fingerprinting recorded audio can this thing fingerprint words and passphrases that the user just says outloud?

I think this approach is probably a little too rigid for something like that, where there would be significant pitch, amplitude, and timing differences each time you say your passphrase.

Actually Google is now competing with them: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
