What is my cat saying? Meow Talk App Review

Описание: In this video I review the Meow Talk App, which hopes to translate what your cat is saying into English. The review includes how to use the app and tests it on my own cats.

Do you sometimes wish you knew what your cat was saying to you? The Meow Talk app, which hopes to translate what your cat is saying into English.

The app is being developed by Akvelon Inc and is in beta, so that means it still has some bugs. The founder is Javier Sanchez an engineer who used to work for Amazon’s home assistant, Alexa. They eventually hope to develop a collar that will translate your cat’s talk immediately. If it works, it will certainly improve the lives of your cats, and reduce frustration in you.

The app is available on the Google Play Story and the Apple App Store. It seems pretty popular, more than half a million downloads and 4.2 stars as of this review in November 2020.

Registration is easy and relatively undemanding. You can create a profile for each of your cats with a name and birthday.

The app does not really know what your cat is saying until you train it. Once your cats meows, it needs to hear the same type of meow 5 to 10 times. And you have to let it know what you think it means. It will get it wrong most of the time at the start.

You can change the translation and there is a list of more that ten options. You can also add options. For example, it does not have a “Let’s Play” option, which is one of my cats’ top comments.

I general, I could not really see the value of the app beyond a little entertainment and possibly helping them gather data on cat speech—which come to think of it is worth while.
