Now understand what your pets speak! Say Thanks to Google

by Aditya on April 10, 2010

There is definitely a communication gap between people of different regions. However, there is a huge (really huge) communication gap between animals and humans. The gap is was so huge that understanding animal’s language sounded not more than a fiction few years ago. But thanks to Google (I am their fan..seriously) that has turned this fiction into reality quite very soon. Welcome a new Android app from Google – “Translate for Animals’”, a translator that translates animal’s noise to meaningful English sentences.

What is this new thing now – “Translate for Animals”?

“Translate for Animals” is an Android app from Google. It is a breakthrough beta application that has narrowed the communication gap between humans and animals to a greater extent. This new application is essentially a translator for your pet’s common expressions and emotions. It brings out the meaning of these in the language you (humans) can understand.

How do you use it?

Using the “Translate for Animals” app is very easy. For the start, all you need to do is install  the app on your Android phone. You can get it by searching for it in Android marketplace. Record the sound that your pet makes. The sound will then be sent to their cloud database for processing. The processing may take few minutes. At the end, the pet’s sounds will be interpreted and transcribed in English on your Android. You further get an option to hear the translated sound.

How does this work?

To develop Translate for Animals, Google worked closely with many of the world’s top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

Is this accurate?

For the question about its accuracy; I can’t really say anything definite on this. I have no way to find whether this is accurate. Be it true or false, the app is fun. I really liked the demo video of the app where an old man runs after his pets to get their feeling about him. In one way or another, you will be brought closer to your pets by listening pleasing words about you from them (even though it be false).

What’s next?

Next, people will be having this app installed on their Android phones and will use it to get acquainted with their pet’s feelings about them.  Accordingly, the love for their pets will be re-borne or the masters will kill their ungrateful pets.
