What
Is The Need?
Ever since people acquired the capability of speech, lying
and deception have been inescapable facts of everyday life.
Conventional lie detector results are not admissible in court
because people can physically alter their behavior to appear
to be telling the truth. The human voice on the other hand,
cannot be manipulated. It is a complex instrument for expressing
a full range of emotional and cognitive states of mind, that
even the best voice training in the world cannot overcome.
Better yet, vocal segments can be gathered and analyzed over
the phone, taken from TV or radio shows, or even in a face
to face conversation, without the subject being aware.
What
Is It Based On?
Did you know that the human voice consists of six global levels?
1) The textual level - the words we speak.
2) The identifying level - unique elements in every individual's
voice.
3) The intonation level - the way we express ourselves.
4) The emotional level - an uncontrolled element of the voice
that indicates the level of excitement and the emotions they
attach to what they are saying.
5) The cognitive level - an uncontrolled element of the voice
that indicates the amount of conflict or agreement with the
spoken sentence.
6) The physiological element - indicates the stress, physiological
alertness and general physiological condition.
Truster
examines the emotional, cognitive and physiological patterns
in our voice to deliver accurate messages regarding vocal
segments of a conversation or broadcast.
How
Does It Work?
Truster produces a computerized analysis of the speech flow
to distinguish between nonverbal emotional, cognitive and
stressful elements within the human voice. When all is said
and done, a lie is a deviation from how one would answer an
obvious question such as, What is your name? A subject may
answer the exact same question differently in different situations.
For example, the reaction to asking a subject how much money
they made in a certain period will vary depending on whether
it is during a free conversation, job interview, or legal
proceeding. Lying or attempting to be faithful to the truth
requires much more exertion than answering an obvious question,
but it also depends on the circumstances.
Truster's
unique ability to mathematically calculate emotion in the
human voice makes it one of the most important breakthroughs
in the field of vocal lie and feeling detection. Your level
of expertise at testing subjects and interpreting the data,
combined with the awareness that different contexts can produce
different outcomes, is sure to yield the best results.
What
Do The Results Mean?
The proper interpretation of the results is crucial to the
process. There are three main indications that a person is
lying. When a person is stressed, confused and excited all
at the same time, chances are that they are lying. However,
very few people (1%) lie very convincingly without any of
the above symptoms because they do not feel that there is
anything wrong with lying, and/or they might not feel a need
to be faithful to the truth. The system will not detect a
lie if a dishonest person claims something happened and genuinely
believes it to be true. That is precisely why we recommend
using your common sense in analyzing Truster results.
Try
to focus on finding deviations in the results. For example,
an honest person may get stressed, confused and excited while
trying to stick to facts exactly as they remembered them.
An honest person may feel that they are speaking the truth
but actually be lying to themselves. A person may state that
they are going to overcome certain obstacles, but may not
truly believe in their capability to do so. Truster will pick
that up as a deviation, but it certainly does not mean that
the subject is dishonest. They may merely be inaccurate, or
unsure of their words, as Truster will display throughout
the conversation.
Therefore,
we recommend using your common sense to evaluate the results,
by considering the specific context of the conversation. Truster
is recognized as the most accurate tool for detecting emotions
in the human voice, and it is best utilized as a decision
support tool.
The
Technology
The core technology behind Truster is based on the development
of an innovative algorithm, which is being implemented into
a growing number of Truster products. Truster technology examines
the emotional, cognitive and physiological patterns in the
human voice to deliver accurate diagnoses regarding vocal
segments of a conversation or broadcast.
It
achieves this by producing a computerized analysis of the
speech flow to distinguish between nonverbal emotional, cognitive
and stressful elements within the human voice. The technology's
unique ability to mathematically calculate emotion in the
human voice makes it one of the most important breakthroughs
in the field of vocal lie and feeling detection.
Truster
technology offers a number of significant advantages beyond
detecting deception. It distinguishes between levels of stress
with more in-depth and accurate results than any other voice
analyzer. Truster technology is the first voice analyzer of
its kind capable of providing a realtime analysis and diagnosis
of the subject's voice.
