Press Release Summary: Politicians are trained to play a smoke-and-mirrors act with words and body language, and even when they appear to be believable, they are often fudging the facts. RealScoop.com is the only website that uses the world's leading voice analysis technology to measure the believability of the spoken word. Considering the importance of this election, RealScoop wants to offer voters a unique way to review the statements made by the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates.
Press Release Body: Chicago, IL - October 16 2008 - RealScoop.com helps voters decide which candidate is more believable, using the world's leading voice analysis technology. RealScoop selected the most compelling moments from the pre-election debates, analyzed them with their proprietary Believability Meter, and displays side-by-side videos of the candidates. Users are given a unique opportunity to gain valuable input on the believability of their statements.
RealScoop's Believability Meter, which performs more than 1,000 calculations per second on over 100 vocal elements of the human voice, rates the believability of statements made by Obama, McCain, Biden and Palin during the four debates. Here are the most notable findings:
# McCain was NOT BELIEVABLE regarding how hurt he was by John Lewis' statements or that ACORN threatens to "destroy the fabric of democracy" on 10/15 # Obama was NOT BELIEVABLE when he said his campaign was not involved with ACORN on 10/15 # McCain was NOT BELIEVABLE when he asserted that Obama and his cronies encouraged Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make bad loans on 10/7 # Palin was NOT BELIEVABLE when she stated that Obama doesn't favor funding the troops on 10/2 # Biden was NOT BELIEVABLE when he discussed shifting responsibility to the Iraqis and pullout timeline on 10/2 # Obama was NOT BELIEVABLE when he discussed negotiating with Iran and Henry Kissinger's backing on 9/26
