Pet Translator - A Free Android Application That Translates Animal Words
The Pet Translator could help pet owners communicate with their animals. The new gadget can learn what our animals say and react to. It will likely be available within 10 years, which will be helpful for many generations of pets and their owners. In the meantime, you can use the device to teach your pet new words, and it can be a fun tool for the entire family. This tool could also be used to train AI algorithms, which will eventually translate words into human speech.
The idea for the pet translator came from two researchers. The inventor, Anne Lise Kjaer, has spent enough time around prairie dogs to recognize their sounds and how to make them sound like other animals. With more than 40,000 subscribers on YouTube, Slobodchikoff believes that the device will make human-animal communication easier. A pet translator would be especially useful for those who have trouble communicating with their pets, especially those who don't speak the same language as them.
The device is currently being tested, and is currently free to download and use. It has been developed by a professor at Northern Arizona University. She has previously studied priarie dogs and believes the concept is applicable to household pets. The project is still in its early stages, but the developer hopes it will soon have a fully-functional version for testing. And with the help of the newest technology, she hopes to make the translation process easier.
