23. A method, comprising:
-
participating in a communication between a first party at a first location and a second party at a second location, the first location remote from the second location and connected to the second location via a network;
receiving an audio signal during the communication at the first location, generating a current voiceprint from the audio signal at the first location;
comparing the current voiceprint at the first location to at least one stored voiceprint;
identifying a matching voice print of the at least one stored voiceprint as a result of the comparing;
displaying an indication that the second party is speaking during the communication when the matching voiceprint is associated with the second party. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A system comprising:
-
a generator module that generates a first real-time voiceprint from an audio input of a conference call having two or more participants; and
a matching module that receives the first real-time voiceprint, compares the first real-time voiceprint to a number of previously stored reference voiceprints to determine a first matching voiceprint when said first real-time voiceprint best matches the first matching voiceprint, and automatically refines the first matching voiceprint during the conference call after the first matching voiceprint has been determined;
wherein the generator module further generates a second real-time voiceprint from the audio input of the conference call at a time later than the first real-time voiceprint, and the matching module further compares the second real-time voiceprint to the number of previously stored reference voiceprints to determine a second matching voiceprint when said second real-time voiceprint best matches the second matching voiceprint, said comparison concurrent with the refining of the first matching voiceprint. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37)
