Lie Detector For Talking Heads: Grave Consequences For TV Interviews
You guys know I’ve been on my “nearly everyone in this industry is full of BS / the financial media is an unfunny joke” crusade for a while now, but with regards to a product that actually does something about it–or claims to–unsuprisingly, I’ve been outscooped by the world’s top financial blogger Barry Ritholtz.
RealScoop uses their special voice analysis technology to measure the believeability of what people say in videos–yeah that’s right, useless talking heads, corporate scumbags execs: get scared.

do they have a believability meter, for the believability of the believability meter actually being true scientific voice analysis or just pure animated believability bar rubbish? it would be cool but i feel like this is the gaff
