Now, German authorities are planning to use new voice recognition software to verify the asylum seekers' country of origin, according to a report on Die Welt.。
The test, which will begin in two weeks and roll out widely in 2018, aims at analysing and identifying the dialects of people seeking asylum using recorded speech samples. 。
The software is based on the same voice authentication technology used by banks and insurance companies and would help officers review the applications' sources of origin.。

"I don't see how automated software can distinguish whether a person uses a certain word or pronounces it in a particular way because this is part of their own repertoire or because they were primed to do so by the interviewer or interpreter."。 Another expert, computer scientist Dirk Hovy at the University of Copenhagen, told 。Another expert, computer scientist Dirk Hovy at the University of Copenhagen, told 。
