We now live in a world where there’s Alexa for CATS.
There’s an engineer named Javier Sanchez in Bellevue, Washington who used to work on Alexa for Amazon. But now he’s using his skills and experience in a different way.
He’s developed an app called MeowTalk that translates what your CAT is saying.
Now . . . it wasn’t easy, because he says every cat’s meows mean a different thing. So the app uses machine learning to work with you to figure out what your cat’s meows mean and translate them.
You can get the app right now for Apple and Android and it’s free . . . although it seems like you’ll need to pay 99 cents to get all the features.
