Location Map of Voice Identification Expert Witness Directory

Voice identification expert witnesses, profiled in this directory, may provide forensic analysis of audio recordings for the identification of unknown speakers, as well as speech recognition (recognizing what is being said). These voice experts may provide written opinions in challenges to aural and spectrographic comparisons of voices, including challenges to obscuring events and non-ideal recording conditions (noise, music, other speakers, reverberation, degraded channels, compressed audio) and challenges to exemplar recordings (voice samples) due to unequal recording equipment (eg: telephone, cellphone, digital voice mail recorder, digital dictaphones) and speaker's physical condition (emotion, intoxication, illness). These voice identification experts may also written reports on issues of sound spectrography and the interpretation of the spectrograms, and the psycholinguistic features of the speakers voice (accent, dialect, inflection, prosody, syllable grouping, breath patterns), signs of speech pathologies and peculiar speech habits). These experts in voice identification may also testify on issues in identifying voices speaking an unfamiliar language or foreign language, the identification of voices by ad hoc experts (victims, witnesses, police officers) and voice biometric technologies.
