Phonexia has just launched Deep EmbeddingsTM – the latest generation of its voice biometrics engine for speaker identification and verification. The new technology exclusively uses deep neural networks (DNN) to map voices directly to their unique small and fixed length records called voice-prints.

After making the decision to quit my previous job, I carefully considered where to go. There were many options and I had to evaluate which one would be the best for me. I was tempted to go back to IT, but my primary goal was to attain freedom by the age of 50 – the freedom to pursue whatever I want; regarding work, sports, or family.

In 2009, I started looking for a new job. I had been working as a project manager and wanted to continue in that line of work, which is why VUT’s offer caught my eye. When I arrived at the job interview with Honza Černocký, who was the head of VUT’s Speech@FIT group, I was surprised that a committee of more than six people was also present.

I have always been interested in mathematics, research and generally how things work. Examining or building new things is what I find the most exciting. Therefore, when I finished my master's studies at BUT FIT, I was happy to receive a SPAM from Honza Černocký saying he was creating a group of speech recognition.

I was already good at math in primary school. After all, all you need is to understand the core principle and the rest is piece of cake. Later, at high school of electric engineering, I learned about automatization, and I was riveted by it. The fact that I could program something that actually does “something” in the real world was fascinating.

All journeys of Phonexia founders are a little bit different. So what is my story? Well, the first time I read about speech technologies was when I was in high school. I felt that it was something with a real potential and so I started looking into the issue more closely.
