There are a number of documented apps (most porminent is SpeakerIdentApp)
MARF can be used for and the related publications.

Some publications:

http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1370256.1370262
http://www.springerlink.com/content/8382275582470730/

http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/COMPSAC.2008.206

And of course, the manual (I admid it is not as current as the code), as
a list of typical applications that current work with MARF:

I think it should be relatively easy to do given I understand correctly
some of the requirements above. In fact it would be similar to what
SpeakerIdentApp does, a version of it adapted to your needs and your
specific environment (but of course more details are needed and your
application that you are going to be developed will have to be trained
("calibrated") on the stored utterances of the names of people), but
essentially it seems nothing more than matching a dictionary of utterances
from a database, this can certainly what the main apps of MARF do.
