Orlando Sentinal is running a piece in which they have audio “experts” declare that the cries for help on the 911 tapes are, beyond a doubt, NOT Zimmerman. Other outlets are picking it up and running with it.

One expert claims to knows this by simply listening. The other (Tom Owen) uses some software to compare the two.

The article fails to mention, however, that the software used to analyze the audio is actually Mr. Owen’s own product which he sells online. Of course he’s going to present it as providing 100% accurate results. I’m sure he would also love the publicity that this article will bring to his product.

If you go to the site for the software, no mention is made of Mr. Owen or his company. The only contact information is a PO Box and toll-free number.
http://www.easyvoicebiometrics.com/

If you check the WHOIS information with the registrar of the domain, however, Mr. Owen and his company are clearly listed as the owner of the domain and site.

Furthermore, a simple search on Google for “voice biometrics” returns only results pertaining to security - nothing relating to forensics or law enforcement. Clearly this software and technology is not widely used for this application.

Please get the word out on this. I imagine this will be the next “smoking gun”/”icing on the cake” in the case.
