EN The modern speech processing techniques enable new possibilities of potential applications. Besides speech and speaker recognition, also the information about speakers’ physical condition, emotional state or stress can be detected in speech signal. Since emotional stress can occur during deception, its detection in speech could be used for law or security services. The paper presents the comparative tests of two voice stress detection techniques: one based on trials of microtremors detection relying on an iterative EMD method (Empirical Mode Decomposition)and the second one based on the statistical analysis of fundamental frequency and MFCC parameters. The preliminary tests were carried on the group of 12 speakers (6 males and 6 females) answering yes/no to the list of a few dozen personal questions. The presented research revealed the speakers’ very high personal influence on the obtained results.
