Adv. Lie Detector - Problems on the EVO

I've noticed several comments in the Market have indicated that Advanced Lie Detector does not work on the EVO.

I'd really like to fix this, but I don't have an EVO.  If someone with an EVO could get in touch with me and help me test some fixes, I'd appreciate it.

Also, if anyone with an EVO can answer the following questions:

When you launch the application and hit the Record button, can you
tell me what happens?  (ie. crash, etc)

If the application does not crash, can you then answer the following questions:

1. Do you see a Dialog Box with a Microphone in it?

2. If you do, when there is absolutely no background noise, is the
microphone completely black or is there some green at the bottom?

3. When you speak, do you see the microphone become colored (green if
you are soft, yellow for a bit louder, and red if you are really
loud)?

4. If you leave the microphone up for 20+ seconds, does it eventually go away?

Thanks!

How to help debug problems..

Thank you for the e-mails reporting problems in my android apps! For the most part, they are very helpful and contribute to a better quality app for you, the user.

Some of you; however, have been sending emails or posting comments that do not contain enough information for me to do anything with.


To help me debug a problem you are having, please send the following:
  • What type of phone you are using (ie. Nexus One, Droid, Sprint Evo, etc) and the version of Android you are running (ie. 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, etc).
  • A Detailed description of what is not working and the steps to reproduce the problem.  A simple... "it crashes" is not very helpful.
  • A logcat would be most helpful.  It basically is a crash report from your phone.  The simplest way of getting me a crash report is to download aLogCat from the Market, and then reproduce the crash/error in my application and then open aLogCat and hit Menu->Send and send me your logcat report.

Advanced Lie Detector 2.0 is out!

Announcing the 2.0 release of Advanced Lie Detector. A computerized Voice Stress Analysis Tool.



Summary:
This application performs stress classification and quantification utilizing non-linear speech features as indicated in NATO published research.

Features Include:

  • Critical Band based Teager Energy Operator autocorrelation envelope area algorithm (TEO-CB-Auto-Env).
  • Adjustable playback accuracy for faster phones.
  • Graphical Stress display of captured speech.
  • Playback analysis speed adjustment from 25% - 100%

Note: The algorithms detect stress/nervousness present when someone tells you a lie and fears being caught. If you are testing this on yourself, there is no consequence of being caught lying, therefore no stress to detect.  Therefore, it would be counter-productive to use it on yourself as a lie-detector. Perhaps using it on someone else would be a better idea.

Furthermore, before you rate my application, please be aware that this app uses research published by NATO. I make no claims as to the accuracy of the stress/lie detection capabilities of their algorithms. I have only implemented one particular algorithm (TEO-CB-Auto-Env), as I was curious if real world results would match their lab test results.
If it doesn't work for you, don't blame me... blame the researchers.

Feel free to read their
research results and come to your own conclusion. I hope you guys enjoy this application!
