System and method for managing an automated voicemail
A system, method and computer-readable storage device are disclosed signing a voicemail and confirming an identity of the speaker. A method includes receiving a request to verify a speaker associated with a communication to a recipient, receiving first data from the speaker in connection with the communication, accessing second data associated with the speaker to verify the speaker, determining whether a match exists between the first data and the second data to yield a determination, retrieving a communication address of the recipient, generating a notification for the recipient, wherein the notification reports on the determination and transmitting the notification to the recipient at the communication address.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to verify a voice message from a person impersonating a speaker using a voiceprint associated with the speaker;
determining that audio of the voice message does not match the voiceprint;
generating a notification that indicates the voice message was not successfully verified; and
transmitting an email or text message to a recipient device of a called party, the email or text message including the notification and a link to report the voice message to the authorities.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transcribing the voice message to yield a transcription; and
transmitting the transcription to the recipient device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification is separate and distinct from the link to report the voice message to the authorities.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the email or text message further includes data about the person impersonating the speaker.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the email or text message includes an additional link to block further communication from the person impersonating the speaker.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voiceprint is generated directly from a different voice message than the voice message received from the speaker, and wherein a length of the voice message being verified is insufficient to generate an independent voiceprint.
7. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing programming instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a request to verify a voice message from a person impersonating a speaker using a voiceprint associated with the speaker;
determine that audio of the voice message does not match the voiceprint;
generate a notification that indicates the voice message was not successfully verified; and
transmit an email or text message to a recipient device of a called party, the email or text message including the notification and a link to report the voice message to the authorities.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the notification is separate and distinct from the link to report the voice message to the authorities.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the email or text message further includes data about the person impersonating the speaker.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the email or text message includes an additional link to block further communication from the person impersonating the speaker.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the programming instructions further cause the processor to:
transcribe the voice message to yield a transcription; and
transmit the transcription to the recipient device.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the voiceprint is generated directly from a different voice message than the voice message received from the speaker, and wherein a length of the voice message being verified is insufficient to generate an independent voiceprint.
13. A computer-readable storage device storing programming instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive a request to verify a voice message from a person impersonating a speaker using a voiceprint associated with the speaker;
determine that audio of the voice message does not match the voiceprint;
generate a notification that indicates the voice message was not successfully verified; and
transmit an email or text message to a recipient device of a called party, the email or text message including the notification and a link to report the voice message to the authorities.
14. The computer-readable storage device of claim 13 , wherein the notification is separate and distinct from the link to report the voice message to the authorities.
15. The computer-readable storage device of claim 13 , wherein the email or text message further includes data about the person impersonating the speaker.
16. The computer-readable storage device of claim 13 , wherein the email or text message includes an additional link to block further communication from the person impersonating the speaker.
17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 13 , wherein the programming instructions further cause the processor to:
transcribe the voice message to yield a transcription; and
transmit the transcription to the recipient device.
18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 13 , wherein the voiceprint is generated directly from a different voice message than the voice message received from the speaker, and wherein a length of the voice message being verified is insufficient to generate an independent voiceprint.
