Lie detector for your calls
Here's an [interesting idea by KishKish](http://www.kishkish.com/sam/vsa/), a new feature in their SAM. You can record calls and later analyse them for the voice stress level. They say a near-real-time version is also upcoming. You should obviously exercise caution because no analysis can be fully accurate, and of course inform the remote party that you are recording the call. But it's an interesting example of what you can do with the Skype voice stream.
There's strong interest from the developer community in having easier access to the voice stream to develop exactly this kind of applications, and this will be much more accessible to developers in the future versions with the voice API.

About the "Lie Detector":
I would like to download it, but is it safe ?
Has Skype's approval ?

The lie detection does not work by definition because the only thing measured (unreliably) is the stress in the voice, but stress is not only infered by lying but but by fear, anxiety, angriness and so on. For more information: http://antipolygraph.org/

This is a seriously bad idea because people, ignorant of its limitations, will believe its (so-called) evidence. It will sow seeds of mistrust, and cause arguements and unhappiness.
