Voice Risk Analysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Voice Risk Analysis or VRA is a lie detection technology developed by Digilog. It works by detecting the changes in the voice of the subject when he is lying. It will be used by the Harrow council of London during one year to test its reliability fighting benefit claim frauds [1].

VRA technology works by measuring slight, inaudible fluctuations in the human voice known as 'micro-tremors' that indicate when a speaker delivers words under stress, and when those moments of stress are generated by an attempt to deceive. Voice patterns are analysed and displayed on a computer.
