O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 ![]() | For those not wishing to cut and paste into their browser: Aug 8 — Lots of dog owners talk to their pets, but let’s face it, it’s nearly impossible to really know what the furry friends are trying to say. Until now. The new “Bow-lingual†claims to be the world’s first dog interpreter, a handheld device that translates barks into words humans can understand. CREATED BY Japan’s third-largest toy maker, Takara Co Ltd, the device is smaller than a credit card and deciphers growls and yelps into six feelings — frustration, alarm, self-expression, happiness, sadness and desire. Depending on the type of bark, words pop up on the device display, such as “I can’t stand it,†or “How boring.†The device uses 200 words to describe a dog’s feelings and includes pictures on the pager-like devic — such as “happy†or “fun†with a smiling dog’s face. Similar to computerized voice-recognition for human speech, the Bowlingual matches barks with digital patterns of various barks preprogrammed into the device to translate pooch sounds into pronouncements like: “I’m arf-ully lonely. Please play with me more.†But beware of the temperamental puppy, who tells its owner that it is “annoyed†or “frustrated.†The device also produces a “Dog Diary.†After collecting data from a full day of barking, the diary describes how a dog felt during the day using 100 pre-programmed sentences.: “So many fun things today. What an ultra-happy day.†A microphone attached to the dog’s collar sends a voice-print via infra-red beams to the device, which has a small liquid crystal display that shows how the dog feels. LONG-DISTANCE DOG-CONVERSATIONS The device, which costs 12,800 yen - about $104 - will go on sale in Japan in February and may be exported later on, the company said. The product was developed in conjunction with the Japan Acoustic Lab and mobile phone contents provider Index Corp. “This is not about communication between two human beings, instead we asked ourselves if it was possible to communicate with animals... and our answer to that is that it is possible,†said Masami Ochiai, president of Index Corp. In a country where one in two people have a mobile phone, the company plans to upgrade the device so it can relay data to handsets, enabling owners to gauge their dogs’ moods even when they are out of the house. OK, the human race is officially too stupid to continue going on...when will it end? ![]() We're all here Because we're not all there tonight | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 ![]() | Hey now, can I help it if I did cut and paste AND tried the link and still couldn't get the story, so I thank you Doc Smith for letting me in on the wonders of technology. Clearly this is what we should be focusing our vast scientific resources on! Screw cancer! And they'll probably sell a million of 'em. Ponderous I hate this job!
