Remote lie detector test with VerifEye
Take a lie detector test from home on your own phone, anywhere in Canada. About 10 minutes, arranged personally by the examiner.
What VerifEye is
VerifEye is a lie detector app made by Converus, the company behind EyeDetect. It uses your phone's camera to measure involuntary eye behaviour while you answer questions out loud. It works on most modern iPhone and Android phones. Because nothing has to be shipped and nobody has to travel, it is available anywhere in Canada.
How a remote test is arranged
Call the examiner
You explain your situation in general terms. The examiner checks that remote testing is suitable and helps you prepare a short written statement to be tested.
Agree on the test and the price
The issue and the price are confirmed before anything is sent.
The examiner speaks with the person being tested
The examiner talks directly with the person who will take the test to confirm who they are and that they agree to take part.
Receive a private test link
The examiner sends a link by text message or email to the person being tested.
Take the test
Tapping the link opens the app. A short video explains the test, and then the questions are asked out loud. The test takes about 10 minutes.
Receive the results
The test is scored automatically and results are available immediately. A report is issued, and the examiner explains what the result means.
What you will need
- An iPhone or Android phone with a working front camera, microphone and speaker. The examiner can confirm your phone works before you pay.
- A reliable internet connection.
- A private, quiet, well-lit room where you will not be interrupted for about 15 minutes.
Identity and consent
Before any link is sent, the examiner speaks directly with the person who will take the test, to confirm who they are and that they are taking part freely. The link goes only to that person.
Accuracy
The manufacturer reports accuracy of about 80% for VerifEye in laboratory studies. That is lower than in-person EyeDetect, because a phone camera in an uncontrolled room is less precise than a dedicated testing station. If a result matters a great deal to you, ask the examiner whether in-person EyeDetect is the better choice.
When remote testing may not be suitable
- The person being tested is not taking part freely, or someone else will be in the room.
- No private, quiet space is available.
- The phone, camera or internet connection is not good enough.
- Eye conditions, medication, exhaustion or intoxication could affect the test.
- The matter involves a child-protection concern or a crime that should be reported to police.
