A tech company asserts that it has developed a device capable of converting human speech into canine communication.
A business based in California named Traini is offering what it refers to as the ‘world’s first real-time human-dog communication collar’.
Videos uploaded to the company’s website demonstrate the device in use.
In one instance, a man asks an application on his phone: “Can you fetch me the remote?” The translator then converts those words intoAIbarks, at which the dog actually reacts.
Another shows the pet licking a man’s face following the app’s translation of the owner’s command: “Give me a kiss.”
The Traini website presents the tool as ‘the first pet behavioral AI globally that reacts with empathy, designed to connect technology with the health of pets’.
However, celebrity dog trainer Sharon Bolt is skeptical that the app could ever evolve into a tool enabling humans to have complete conversations with their cherished pets.
She told The SunWhen a dog barks, various emotions are expressed through high-pitched and deeper, rougher sounds.
Higher indicates more anxiety or fear, whereas lower suggests greater confidence. You can see how an application could be capable of identifying these different emotions.
But I don’t understand the reasoning behind being able to talk to it. You can teach a dog to fetch a remote.
There are specific phrases such as dinner or walkies that it might comprehend. However, regular small talk, no.
