Making demonstrably reliable forensic voice comparison a practical everyday reality in Australia

为了协助澳大利亚执法机构和法院判定有罪和无罪的过程，该项目将开发和测试一个实用和可证明可靠的法医语音比对系统，用于澳大利亚的声音。这将使法医科学家能够使用与DNA相同的评估框架，提供可靠的证据陈述，以便在法庭上提交。此外，在刑事调查期间应用该系统可能会导致对其他嫌疑人的调查重新集中，或可能有助于利用认罪手段，从而节省大量时间和金钱。

To assist Australian law-enforcement agencies and courts in the process of the conviction of the guilty and the exoneration of the innocent, this project will develop and test a practical and demonstrably reliable forensic voice comparison system for use with Australian voices. This will allow forensic scientists to produce reliable strength of evidence statements for presentation in court using the same evaluative framework as used with DNA. In addition, application of the system during criminal investigations may lead to the refocussing of investigations on other suspects, or may help leverage guilty pleas, thus saving substantial time and money.
