Description:
LiarLiar is a voice stress analysis tool for Linux. Voice-stress
analysis, an alternative to the polygraph as a method for lie
detection, is already widely used in police and insurance fraud
investigations. LiarLiar's main purpose is to detect stress in a
person's voice. Higher stress levels can be an indication that the
person is not being truthful. LiarLiar uses voice stress analysis
techniques to attempt to quantify the amount of stress present in
speech. LiarLiar is not a lie detector; however, many people will
probably use it as such. Moreover, lie detection using voice stress
analysis (VSA) techniques have come under much scrutiny as of late.
More recent information and technical details about the software can
be found in the forums.
Features of LiarLiar include:
* Utilizes GStreamer to support multiple input file types
(microphone and/or file input)
* Plugin system to support addtional computerized voice stress
analysis (CVSA) plugins
* Able to detect microtremors in the 8-14 Hz range.
* Quantification (between 0-100%) of level of stress in speech
based upon microtremor analysis
* Written in C++ and utilizing GTK toolkit
* Future versions will make use of additional speech parameters
for better accuracy
