4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know about the USB Polygraph Test, but couldn't find elsewhere...!, October 22, 2009

I followed this product all over the net to try to find a more insightful look at this product.

I found plenty of download links (it is made by a company called Swamiware, (not much of a comfort), however this product deserves an honest description, because after all, who doesn't dream of having their own (real) polygraph test, to use at their own whim? This product, while impressive in that it uses all of the usual connections to attach & monitor your 'subjects', including two (2) skin galvanization finger monitors that gauges increased/decreased perspiration, one (1) finger-style pulse monitor (for detecting your subject's heart-rate), and finally, a breathing apparatus that is strapped around their abdomen to detect respiratory functions as the test is being administered, so you have EVERYTHING that a standard polygraph examiner has in THEIR professional repertoire.

Bottom line, for $69.99 you will get a box full of all of the above-mentioned features and after installation, you are essentially an unlicensed 'polygraph examiner' and the results are nothing short of amazing...! By law, it has to be advertised as being used strictly for entertainment purposes, but don't let that hold you back for an instant, this little gem will astound everyone involved (and I am a born skeptic).

The few things I miss are a half-decent instruction manual, but it has a small learning curve and the more you test people, the better you get. The software provides spine-tingling evaluations that will keep you busy for many, many hours of usage not to mention totally freaking out your friends every time you analyze them!

If you use Vista, expect some issues, mine seemed to crash frequently until I put it on a machine with XP or lower OS platforms.

That said, I highly recommend USB Polygraph Lie Detector, even if you just use it at parties, people will go home talking about it's amazing properties. While I wouldn't use it to base furthering my relationship with my wife and/or significant other, or to use it as some sort of investment decision tool but it is bound to produce some incredible results that's guaranteed to influence your friends and associates in how they ultimately decide to phrase things to you in the future... Truth or False, put someone you know in the 'Hot Seat' and have a blast revealing the truth, which is often stranger than fiction! You will be in possession of all the tools that a professional polygraph examiner has, for a fraction of the cost.

Here's several tips and techniques I have for all you potentially new unlicensed examiners:

First, ask the question, then watch what happens to their body after you've questioned them. I found spikes that went right up means the subject is thinking and as long as the spikes were up, the subject is thinking about his answer (count those spikes to reveal how many times they went into deep thought, the wider these peaks are, the longer the subject was thinking about your question. Now, if the spikes go down, that almost always told me that either the subject was trying to use countermeasures to throw you off, or that they we're not being truthful. Voila...! Please send me $5 because - You are now an unlicensed polygrapher...! lol

Hope my review helped someone out there, who's been looking at this product like I was. Forget the Presidential Version, it's not something even worth considering and I don't even like the concept as opposed to the normal version and should never have been produced, in an effort to cash in on the older, more venerable & already-passed Presidential election. Get the normal version and you'll be happier with your new purchase than you possibly imagined. I am, anyways...!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised - no lie!, November 13, 2011

I bought this as more of a toy/gag. However, it really does seem to work - no reason you couldn't use this as a real lie detector.

I downloaded the latest version of the software, installed in less than minute. Plugged in the detector input system (one USB cord that is connected to a box with 4 other connectors that connect to the person being tested).

You enter your questions into the system and the name of the person and click "start". It automatically "baselines" the readings by asking predetermined questions to make sure the person is telling the trust on questions like name, sex, etc.

Has realtime readout with rolling line chart of all inputs (breathing, pulse, skin moisture).

Very nice system for $99.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good, July 23, 2011

I've used the other model, and have bought additional models of this one. I charge people $20/each for poly exams at bars, it's on the money accurate. It's a no brainer and does all the work. The constantly have new updates for the soft. There was a bug with Windows 7 which is now fixed. I downloaded the update from the website. They constantly have new versions and police interrogation version is coming after I emailed them.
