The BBC News is reporting that Skype is planning to add a lie detector feature to its internet phone service that will allow users to monitor stress levels in conversations with other people.<\/p>\n
From the article —<\/p>\n
Skype is to offer the KishKish Lie Detector, which is made by BATM, as an add-on for customers.<\/p>\n
It analyses audio streams over a Skype call in real time and illustrates the stress levels of the other person.<\/p>\n
Skype’s software lets computer users talk to each other for free and make cheap calls to mobiles and landlines.<\/p>\n
Paul Amery, director of Skype developer programme said: “This is a really excellent application, and the kind of thing we want to see more of.<\/p>\n
“Lie Detector is the latest in a variety of product in our premium add-on programme which greatly enhance the Skype communication experience.”<\/p>\n
No price has yet been set on the application, or a roll-out date.<\/p>\n
The lie detector is the latest products which Kishkish has designed for Skype users, with others including voice mail and call recorder.<\/p>\n
BATM says it hopes to be able to provide Skype users with further additions in the near future.<\/p>\n
As well as operating in real time the KishKish device can also record calls for analysis later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
