MeowTalk: Alexa developer’s app to translate cat’s miaow
An app that aims to translate your cat’s miaow has been developed by a former Amazon Alexa engineer.
MeowTalk records the sound and then attempts to identify the meaning.
The cat's owner also helps to label the translation, creating a database for the AI software to learn from.
Currently, there are only 13 phrases in the app’s vocabulary including: “Feed me!”, “I’m angry!” and “Leave me alone!”
Research suggests that, unlike their human servants, cats do not share a language.
Each cat’s miaow is unique and tailored to its owner, with some more vocal than others.
So, instead of a generic database for cat sounds, the app's translation differs with each individual profile.
