We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with Langnet, a community-driven, decentralized open-network for language-based voice recognition apps and technologies.

LangNet enables users to contribute language data in exchange for tokens and developers can run campaigns to rapidly crowdsource the data and models they need for building new applications in different languages, accents, dialects and for new use cases.

Once a users submit few minutes of voice data, they can create a unique identifier that serves as a Voice ID based on the acoustic characteristics of the voice, called vocal biometrics. Voice ID combined with blockchain lays the groundwork for securing our data and identities in the new voice economy. The LANG token shares the value created by the the network and voice technology equitably across the ecosystem.

The SelfKey Wallet enables self-sovereign identity and allows identity owners to quickly and painlessly onboard onto immigration, financial and cryptocurrency services. For ease of use and global expansion, we understand the importance of focusing on the future and creating strategic partnerships that will keep the SelfKey Identity Wallet relevant and innovative in the years ahead. Working with Langnet on the potential integration of vocal biometrics to the SelfKey wallet represents one such exciting step with another promising decentralized identity partner in the space.

“SelfKey’s commitment to restoring control of personal data to its rightful owners aligns with LangNet’s mission to give users ownership and control of their voice. We believe that LangNet’s Voice ID will further enhance the security and usability of the SelfKey Wallet as we head into a voice-enabled future.” says Rob Lyu, LangNet CEO.
