No lie: voice stress analysis on iPhone

From TUAW -

The Agile Lie Detector is an app that detects stress levels in the speaker's voice to determine if he/she is lying. The approach is a somewhat controversial alternative to the traditional polygraph test. It is not considered as accurate as hooking someone up to a machine that measures more than one physiological response, like breathing and pulse. On the other hand, theoretically anyway, it allows you to test someone who isn't physically in the same room. In fact, it's possible to analyze speech through speakers, assuming the quality of those speakers is high enough.

Anyways, either Apple knows something or it is just playing safe, as the $7.99 Agile Lie Detector is filed under the Entertainment category in the App Store.

4 Reasons the iPhone is Evil

iPhone Applications That Replace Your Tools

The Wired Blog has an interesting list of applications that emulate and replace actual hardware tools -




A Level, which uses the iPhone's tilt-sensors to emulate a spirit level, complete with a virtual bobbing bubble in a tube. Its latest version now includes calibration. It is surprisingly accurate.




TapeMeasure, as its name implies, is used for length/distance measurements. However it use the 3G's GPS to do so and hence can't be that precise.




Speed Alert replaces your car's speedometer with a far less accurate, GPS-based speedometer. A useful feature though is the alarm when you exceed a pre-set speed limit.




Caliper intended for close-up work measurement and is simple to use but is limited to the length of the iPhone's screen.
