What's New on the Real Polygraph Blog


1. Upcoming Polygraph Seminars

We have added a new area on the blog for Upcoming Polygraph Seminars (See gray colored area on right side of blog) This will be a running list that is updated weekly. If your state association seminar is not listed, please send the information to us at detector@polygraphplace.com and we'll make sure it is included in our next update.

2. How the blog 'CONTENT LABELS' feature works

You may have noticed the CONTENT LABELS on the right hand side of this blog. These labels are important and will be me even more so as the blog grows over time. These labels are put on each story/article that is posted here. They make it easy to find any posts related to a particular topic. For example, to find past posts that include information on voice stress, you can look at the labels and you will see there is a label 'Voice Stress Analysis (2)'. The (2) refers to how many posts have the Voice Stress Analysis label. If you click that label, the blog will show you the two relevant posts on voice stress.

3. Nerd Note Tip - Make your online life easier by using the 'Find' tool on any web page

  • You've typed your search term 'voice stress' into your browser.
  • You get back a list of related web sites and click one.
  • The page opens and you find miles of written text.
  • You are forced to skim/read the entire document to find the parts specifically related to 'voice stress'.
  • Not only is this frustrating but a huge time muncher, am I right?

NO MORE! The keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F comes to your rescue. This works for all browsers that I have used - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc. After you start using this keyboard shortcut, you'll wonder how you got along without it. To activate while browsing any website, hold down the Control button (usually labeled Ctrl in lower left and right of keyboard) and then press the 'F' key on the keyboard. This will open the 'Find' tool. Type in your phrase 'voice stress' and click 'next' on the find tool. This will highlight the first instance of that phrase in the page. Click next again and it will take you to the next instance of that phrase. And on and on until there are no more and it starts over at the top. Try it. I've included a visual aid below. This image shows the find tool and highlighted phrase.
