At TruthScan, we offer a focused suite of professional lie detection services, primarily centered around Polygraph Testing and Voice Stress Analysis, enhanced by our expertise in Statement Analysis, Forensic Investigations, and Private Investigations. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced technology with the skills and experience of our team to deliver accurate and reliable results.
Polygraph Testing
At TruthScan, we utilize the advanced Stoelting Elite Polygraph instrument, a state-of-the-art tool for accurately assessing truthfulness through the monitoring of physiological responses such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Our experienced examiners conduct various types of polygraph tests tailored to specific needs:
Single-Issue Tests: Focused examinations to resolve specific incidents or allegations.
Pre-Employment Screening: Gain valuable insight into a candidate's past behavioral patterns, potential criminal activities, or the truthfulness of information provided on their job application. This provides a significant advantage in selecting applicants who are more likely to exhibit the professional and ethical characteristics you seek.
Periodic (In-Service) Screening: Regular polygraph tests are used to assess the ongoing integrity of employees, particularly those in sensitive positions with access to valuable assets or confidential information. This can help deter internal crime and maintain a high level of trust within your organization.
The detailed features and specifications of the Stoelting Elite Polygraph instrument will be further explored on our Technology page.
Voice Stress Analysis
TruthScan utilizes AVSAPRO Millennium technology for Voice Stress Analysis, a non-intrusive method of detecting stress patterns in an individual's speech to verify truthfulness. This technology analyzes subtle vocal tremors caused by stress, offering a less physically intrusive alternative to polygraph testing as it requires no physical hookups or connections to the body – only the subject's voice.
Less physically intrusive than polygraph testing.
Relies on sophisticated AI and cloud-based analytics for accurate assessment.
A South African innovation with international application.
Voice Stress Analysis at TruthScan can be employed for similar purposes as polygraph testing, including:
Pre-Employment Screening to gain insights into applicant integrity.
Periodic (In-Service) Screening to assess employee honesty and deter internal issues.
Issue-Specific inquiries to investigate particular incidents.

Statement Analysis
TruthScan's Statement Analysis service involves the expert linguistic analysis of both verbal and written statements to identify potential deception, inconsistencies, and significant omissions. Our trained analysts meticulously examine the language used, looking for subtle cues and patterns that can indicate whether a statement is likely truthful or deceptive.
Applicable to Various Formats: This technique can be applied to existing statements, interview transcripts, written reports, and other forms of communication.
Supports and Challenges Other Findings: Statement Analysis can provide valuable corroboration for results obtained through polygraph testing or voice stress analysis, or it can highlight potential discrepancies that warrant further investigation.
Focus on Language and Structure: Our analysis goes beyond simply the content of the words, delving into the structure of sentences, the use of pronouns, the presence of qualifiers, and other linguistic indicators that can reveal underlying truths or deceptions.
By focusing on the nuances of language, Statement Analysis offers a powerful tool for gaining deeper insights into the credibility of individuals and the veracity of their accounts.
