It's hard to tell when some people are lying especially when they're in the
public eye, but advanced technology like voice analysis can certainly help us
determine how truthful celebrities and politicians are in front of the cameras.
Real Scoop is a pretty interesting site
that uses voice analysis technology to rate how believable a person's statements
are.
On the site, you'll find videos with 'Believability Meters' on the bottom of the screen that go from green to red in order to show whether a person is lying or not. The technology used by Real Scoop is able to perform over 1,000 calculations per second in order to study voice frequency patterns caused by the speaker's emotion. This system has actually been used by law enforcement agencies, but think of Real Scoop as a lying detector for celebrities.
There are plenty of high-profile interviews with athletes, politicians, and celebrities featured on the site, but Real Scoop encourages suggestions from readers lest they miss one. Below is an example of the type of clips you'll find on the site:
1. Matt Lauer's interview with Drew Peterson
2.Michelle Obama on whether or not she was offended by John McCain's "that one" remark
3. John McCain on whether Palin would make a good president
5. Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama
Pretty cool stuff. I'd be happy if this was an actual TV feature like close captioning, wouldn't you?
