Abstract
A system for facilitating an electronic signature of a document such as a death certificate includes a voice authentication unit, a voice recognition and a database for storing information relating to the electronic signature ceremony. The system includes an enrollment interface to telephonically receive a reference voiceprint from a future signer of the death certificate, for example a physician. The system is further configured to receive an authentication voiceprint from the enrolled physician wherein the voice authentication unit compares the reference voiceprint and the authentication voiceprint to confirm identity. The system employs the voice recognition unit to allow the physician to telephonically perform at least one of the functions selected from the group including (i) identifying the death certificate, (ii) entering data into the death certificate, or (iii) affirming data that is in the death certificate. The system provides improved ease of use, more rapid and accurate signing of death certificates and is more secure than prior systems.
