Pennsylvania Adjusters Inc. is proud to announce that truth verification (lie detection) is now available.  An International Association of Voice Analysis Certified Instructor has recently certified several Associates of Pennsylvania Adjusters Inc as Certified Voice Stress Examiners and are available when and where needed.

About Truth verification (formerly known as lie detection) which is available via the Lantern Pro System by The Diogenes Company.

ORIGINATION:
Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) was invented in 1970 by two former Army Colonels trained in counterintelligence.  One of the two was a long time polygraph examiner.  These men formed a company and began to market the first Voice Stress Analysis Instrument for the purpose of advancing truth verification and protecting the innocent from wrongful accusations based on suspicion or circumstantial evidence.  The VSA is still the world’s only truth verification system with Voice Stress Analysis which has had many independent validation studies that prove it works.  Thousand of trained examiners worldwide have proved the VSA vastly superior to the polygraph,

The VSA equipment includes a tape recorder which records the entire conversation between the examiner and the subject from the beginning to the end of the interview.  After the examination questions are asked, the tape recorded responses are replayed through the VSA.  The various patterns are printed on chart paper which are then analyzed by the examiner for truth or deception.  It must be noted that there is no such thing as a “lie detector”.  Lie detection is a human analytical process.

USE:
Thousands of VSA’s have been sold worldwide since it’s invention in 1970.  They have been used by police departments, the military services, private investigators, college security police, security guard companies, psychiatrists and psychologists.  It has also been used by public defenders, prosecutors, lawyers, probation and parole departments, prisons, insurance investigators, corporations and many others.

THE VSA AND THE POLYGRAPH:
It is most natural that the VSA (invented 1970) and the Polygraph (invented 1910) as well as the computer polygraph, be compared with each other.  There are of course similarities between them.  They measure certain physiological changes caused by psychological stress.  They use controlled test procedures to decide truth or deception.  However, there are major differences between them  Those differences prove why the VSA is superior to all polygraphs, the computer polygraph and imitation “voice analyzers’ or “computer voice analyzers”.

	The VSA is accurate using yes or no and narrative answers.  The polygraph cannot use multi-syllabic responses (only YES or NO can be used).
	The VSA uses the voice and does not require attached wires.  This eliminates stress by the unnatural, uncomfortable and painful physical restraints of the polygraph wires and procedures.  VSA tests can be performed from the telephone, radio, television, any videotape, any previously made tape recording and of course person to person.
	The VSA displays each syllable of an utterance and can be evaluated for a stress level without comparison to anything.  The polygraph is capable of displaying only relative stress levels.
	The VSA is NOT effected by drugs, alcohol, or manual manipulations.  The polygraph type machine DOES suffer from these problems.
	The VSA never has “inconclusive” results that the polygraph sometimes has.  You will always know if the subject is telling the truth or lying.
	The VSA was the first and remains the ONLY instrument that does Voice Stress Analysis with the Micro-Muscle Tremor.  This process has been validated by independent testing and research.

 These examples are why many polygraph examiners have switched to the VSA.

VALIDITY TESTING:
There is no shortage of studies on the VSA and its accuracy.  Aside from articles, testimony and other reports, there are formal independent studies of various applications, which are clearly favorable to the VSA.  While many of these were accomplished in universities, medical centers and mental health centers, some were directly associated with criminal activity.  Examples are available upon request. 

VSA CERTIFIED EXAMINERS:
If gender is a concern due to certain privacy issues, Pennsylvania Adjusters Inc (Got-Cha Surveillance) has both male and female certified examiners available to administer voice stress analysis.  An Examiner is available any time, any where.
