In South Korea, tech geeks have invented a new way to tell the passion between you and other better half – it’s a high-tech mobile phone device that can secretly check the passion in the voice of a lover.
The “Love Detector” service from mobile operator KTF makes use of technology that analyzes voice patterns to see if a lover is speaking honestly and with affection. “We created this service because we thought people would want to know what others were feeling about them,” said Ahn Hee-jung, a KTF official.
During a conversation, users can point the phone to themselves and see the “love meter” bar on the screen of their handset. The conversation is analyzed, the mechanism sorting out the amount of affection, surprise, concentration and honesty of the other speaker.
The service costs subscribers a flat fee of 1,500 won ($1.59) a month for unlimited use or can be accessed at 300 won for each call, KTF said. “The caller is paying the money, so the information is provided only to him or her,” said Ahn.
