Just a matter of time... "In addition to the foregoing, it further is anticipated that, in certain deployments of the invention, voice recognition would be useful, particularly when the system enables access to a home or office. Voice recognition adds another layer of security, and can be used to facilitate those individuals who are unable to press a keypad. Similarly, image recognition of faces, eyes and fingerprints can also be included in the system for authentication, security, and access. The software application thus alternatively utilizes voice recognition and/or image recognition."
