Here's one for you Skype users.

Duyahn, could you e-mail me off list?  I seem to have somehow accidently 
lost your e-mail address.  How stupid of me.

> Skype voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) users can now download an add-on 
> application that listens for lies coming through the phone. The "KishKish 
> Lie Detector," as it is called, was developed by KishKish, a subsidiary of 
> BATM Advanced Communications.

> The new application is available for download at the "Skype Extras" area 
> of the Skype Web site. The application automatically launches each time a 
> Skype call is made or received. Users can also use the KishKish SAM VSA to 
> record the call for analysis off-line.
>
> To date the add-on has been downloaded 341,782 times, according to 
> Kishkish's Web site.

> Kishkish Lie Detector relies on the same technology used by police and the 
> military to analyze the stress levels in a caller's voice. It takes the 
> first 10 seconds of the conversation to calibrate the system. Then, four 
> on-screen displays register the stress level of the speaker throughout the 
> conversation. The most prominent one is a needle that moves up and down. 
> The second is a meter that measures the stress level from 0 to 100. There 
> is also a green light that changes to red when stress levels are above 
> normal and finally, on top of the display there is a message that 
> indicates the stress level of the speaker.
>
> "This is a really neat application, and the kind of thing we want to see 
> more of," says Paul Amery, director of the Skype Developer Program. He 
> calls the Lie Detector add-on the latest in a series of Skype Extras that 
> are designed to enhance the VoIP experience for customers of Skype, a 
> subsidiary of eBay.
>
> "We are delighted to be able to introduce this unique software to Skype's 
> premium offering and will continue to work closely with them to develop 
> new software-based communication applications," BATM's CEO, Zvi Marom, 
> said in a statement.
>
> Kishkish has also designed voice mail, call recorder, book and mobile 
> applications for Skype.
>
> The Skype Extras offering includes more than 100 other add-ons that 
> include things like file sharing, language translation, call recording, 
> ringtone hijacking and a mortgage payment calculator. Another Skype Extra, 
> called the Love Detector from Nemesysco, reportedly analyzes the voice on 
> the other end of the call to detect minute indications of emotional 
> arousal.
