Have you ever had the experience where you call someone up and they don't seem to be paying attention to you?
The Jerk-O-Meter (or JerkoMeter) is a real-time speech feature analysis application being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that runs on your VOIP phone or cellphone that remedies precisely that experience. It uses speech features for activity and stress (and soon empathy) to measure if you are 'being a jerk' on the phone.
