The revolution of Pragma Etimos

In the modern technological landscape, where Artificial Intelligence is redefining our interactions with the digital world, Pragma Etimos once again stands as a pioneer of innovation. We are proud to announce the development and recognition of a new patent, the result of years of research and experimentation: a revolutionary technology for speaker recognition regardless of content and language of speech.

A patent that changes the game in the Speaker Recognition

Our patented method, recognized both in Italy (“Method for processing an audio stream and corresponding system”, patent pending), represents an epochal step in the field of security, data intelligence and investigative applications.

This technology makes it possible to identify a specific speaker within an audio file, even in extremely complex conditions, such as:

• • Presence of background noise
  • Overlapping conversations (cocktail party effect)
  • Distortions or variations in the voice
  • Different languages spoken within the same context

Thanks to sophisticated neural network models developed and an advanced deep learning approach, our system can recognize an individual’s identity with extreme accuracy.

Beyond Identity: The Power of Speech Analysis

The technology developed by Pragma Etimos is not limited to speaker recognition: thanks to an innovative methodology, it is able to analyze and identify vocal patterns on an individual and collective scale. This means that our system not only recognizes an individual with extraordinary accuracy, but is also able to:

• • Analyze intra- and inter-speaker variations, studying how a person’s voice changes over time or how it differs from other individuals.
  • Overcome the limitations of traditional phonetic-acoustic analysis, thanks to an AI-based approach that guarantees unprecedented accuracy.
  • Identify micro and macro areas of linguistic communities (isoglosses), revealing links between speakers belonging to specific regions or social groups.

This advanced analytics capability not only enhances security and authentication, but opens up new frontiers in linguistic research and understanding of voice-related social dynamics.

Strategic applications of speaker recognition: from security to financial innovation

Speaker recognition is a key technology in several areas:

• • Security and intelligence: Support forensic investigations and identification of subjects in critical contexts.
  • Finance & Data Protection: Identity control in transactions, voice fraud prevention, and secure authentication in banking. In particular, the technology will be integrated into payment systems to offer an additional layer of security, allowing users to authorize transactions directly with their voice
  • Customer experience and virtual assistants: Personalize voice services and interact more naturally with chatbots and smart PBXs.
  • Counterfeit identification: Our technology is able to recognize deep fakes (generated by AI technologies) and analog “edited” audio, becoming an important tool in the fight against counterfeits and telephone fraud.

Ethics e Digital sustainability: our commitment

In an age where privacy protection and responsible use of technology are more important than ever, Pragma Etimos is committed to ensuring that our speaker recognition meets the highest standards of ethics and digital sustainability. Every technological development is designed to improve safety and quality of life, without compromising the fundamental rights of individuals.

A Excellence Team Driving Innovation

Leading the development of this technology is Gaetano Lo Presti, Founder and CEO of Pragma Etimos, flanked by Fabio Colacino, Giorgio Rubiu and Daniele Rubiu. Special thanks also go to Dr. Michelangelo Di Stefano, who contributed as a consultant for the scientific literature used in the research.

The vision of the future according to Gaetano Lo Presti

“This patent represents a turning point for the forensic investigation and security industry. The ability to recognize a speaker regardless of the content of speech or the language spoken opens up new opportunities not only in the investigative field, but also in the financial sector. In fact, we plan to integrate our technology into payment systems, allowing users to authorize transactions with their voice, reducing the risk of fraud and improving overall security.“

A future defined by the innovation

Our mission is clear: to redefine the future of speaker recognition and voice security through increasingly advanced, reliable and responsible solutions. With this new patent, Pragma Etimos confirms its position as a leader in the sector, offering companies and institutions cutting-edge tools to face the challenges of modernity.

The future of Voice Safety is already here. And it bears the name of Pragma Etimos.
