Abstract:
On all sides there is an increasing need for a protocol in speaker recognition analysis. This need arises not only in the scientific word, but corresponds also to a requirement of guarantee and protection of all the individuals involved in criminal lawsuits. This study aims neither to resolve the problem of the protocol and of the fundamental steps in a speaker recognition analysis, nor to impose a precise methodology to be followed, but is an attempt to stir the stagnant waters of the debate on expert report phonic analysis. The most important steps in the realisation of a phonic expertise are outlined as a basis and a starting point for a future protocol to which should follow the establishment of a phonic experts list.
