13. An apparatus to improve speech recognition by a speech recognition system, said apparatus comprising: a voice biometrics system arranged to receive a plurality of microphone output signals, wherein each among the plurality of microphone output signals is associated with a corresponding microphone of a plurality of microphones of the apparatus, and configured to determine that sound within the received each microphone output signal matches a voice model; and a directional sound capturing system that is arranged to receive the plurality of microphone output signals, coupled to and separate from the voice biometrics system, coupled to a speech recognition system, and configured to provide, based on said determination by the voice biometrics system, an audio signal to the speech recognition system that is based on the plurality of microphone output signals.
