Skype is to offer the KishKish Lie Detector, which is made by BATM, as an add-on for customers. It analyses audio streams over a Skype call in real time and illustrates the stress levels of the other person. Conversations can also be recorded so that conversations can be analysed after the call has been ended.
It’ll be interesting to see how accurate this service is in reality. I don’t know if it’s me, but whenever I’ve used Skype on my PC the call quality has been pretty bad, although surprisingly the call quality is a lot better when I use Skype on my PocketPC.
I’m pretty sure though that it’s illegal to record calls in the UK without the other person knowing. Does anyone what the legal situation is in other countries?
