Introduction

Voice authentication and recognition have become increasingly integral to modern

security systems and user experiences, with applications ranging from unlocking smartphones
to securing sensitive data. Other approaches often use purely integrated voice processing
system which is too ambitious for a small research team. In recent years, the integration of
deep learning techniques and mobile devices has ushered in a new era of voice authentication
and recognition, providing faster and more secure solutions. More AI based APIs have spread
and now dominating the web world.

This research explores the convergence of deep learning technology and mobile
devices and a web server microcontroller for voice authentication and identification, with a
particular focus on the implementation of API requests. By harnessing the power of deep
neural networks, mobile devices can now perform real-time voice analysis, improving both
the speed and accuracy of voice-based authentication processes. In this study, we investigate
how such a system can be optimized to provide seamless and robust voice authentication.

Furthermore, the research investigates the incorporation of IoT (Internet of Things)

elements by connecting the mobile device to a microcontroller, specifically the Raspberry Pi
Pico W. The Raspberry Pi Pico W serves as a versatile and cost-effective IoT hub, capable of
processing and transmitting data, making it an ideal candidate for integrating voice
authentication and identification systems. This integration allows for real-time
communication between the mobile device and the Raspberry Pi Pico W, creating a unified
ecosystem for voice recognition.

In summary, this research delves into the innovative approach of using deep learning-
based API requests for voice authentication and identification, enhancing the performance of
mobile devices in this domain. Furthermore, it explores the seamless integration of the
Raspberry Pi Pico W IoT microcontroller, providing a platform for real-time communication
and control. The outcomes of this study promise to revolutionize voice-based security
systems, opening up new possibilities for applications in various domains.

Objectives
The primary objective is to design and develop custom voice recognition software using an
open source. This software should be capable of accurately recognizing someone's voice.
Researchers will develop the voice recognition software with the goal of achieving a specific
level of accuracy in recognizing voices. This objective involves refining the algorithms to
minimize recognition errors. They would also like to develop the software to provide real-
time voice recognition with low to mid latency, allowing for immediate response when the
voice is authenticated. Conducting rigorous testing will be done to evaluate the software's
performance, accuracy, and efficiency. WiFi for the connection between the device and
microcontroller will be use eliminates the need for physical cables, providing the convenience
of wireless connectivity. This is especially beneficial for mobile and IoT applications. Wi-Fi
can also provide high data transfer rates, making it suitable for applications that require the
rapid exchange of data. The document of software development process, including algorithms
and codebase, will be shared through a research paper or technical documentation for
transparency and knowledge dissemination. The estimated time to complete the project is
about 5 months, but within the time of progression, researchers will do everything to improve
the performance or even add new features.

The scope of this research involves enhancing voice authentication on mobile devices
through the integration of a deep learning-based API with the Raspberry Pi Pico W IoT
Microcontroller. This study aims to develop a system that allows users to securely access their
mobile devices using voice recognition technology. It will explore the potential of deep
learning models for accurate voice authentication, considering various algorithms and training
datasets. Furthermore, the integration of Raspberry Pi Pico W offers the advantage of
decentralized processing and IoT capabilities, potentially making it a robust solution for voice
authentication. The research will address both the hardware and software aspects, with an
emphasis on real-time processing and security.

However, this research has certain limitations. Firstly, it may face constraints in terms
of the computational resources available on the Raspberry Pi Pico W, potentially affecting the
complexity of the deep learning model that can be implemented. Additionally, the accuracy of
voice authentication is subject to environmental noise, accent variations, and individual voice
characteristics, which could impact the system's reliability. Furthermore, privacy and security
concerns related to voice data storage and transmission must be considered. The study will
not address these concerns comprehensively but rather focus on the technical feasibility of the
proposed system. Finally, user acceptance and usability aspects will not be extensively
explored, leaving room for further research in these areas.
