[00:00.84]3 Your voice

[00:03.63]Cheaper and faster than a polygraph,

[00:06.18]the voice stress analyser,

[00:08.31]or VSA is based on the premise 1

[00:10.85]that our voice changes when we are under stress

[00:13.90]-when we're lying for example.

[00:15.91]The VSA detects the changes,

[00:18.49]and will work on a telephone,

[00:20.29]tape recording 2 or from the next room via

[00:23.30]a wireless 3 mic or bug 4.

[00:25.35]The analyser monitors the subject's

[00:27.56]voice patterns and inflections,

[00:29.99]and electronically evaluates their relative

[00:32.81]stress patterns to determine

[00:34.82]if they are lying or not.

[00:36.97]Now you can even buy a "Truth Phone",

[00:39.94]so when your friend rigns to say they're sick

[00:42.57]and can't do their share of your group project,

[00:45.52]you can immediately know

[00:47.29]if it's true or not!

[00:48.93]Research indicates this technology

[00:51.11]is not very precise at picking up

[00:53.46]deceitfulness however.

[00:56.26]4 Hesitation 5

[00:58.39]The period of time between the last word

[01:00.71]of an investigator's question

[01:02.59]and the first word of the subject's

[01:05.13]response is know as "Response latency".

[01:07.82]Research tells us that the average  response

[01:10.44]latency for subjects who are telling the truth

[01:13.29]is 0.5 seconds...

[01:15.87]whereas the average latency for liars 6

[01:18.60]is 1.5 seconds.

[01:18.60]
