seeder Posted July 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Quote Pet translator devices could let us talk to dogs within 10 years, Amazon-backed report says Research shows prairie dogs have different words to describe colours and species of predators Pet translators could let us talk to dogs within 10 years, a report backed by Amazon has claimed. A professor at Northern Arizona University is attempting to raise money to develop a cat and dog translation device, after he used AI software to analyse calls made by priarie dogs. Con Slobodchikoff found that the animal had different words to describe colours and species of predators. He now believes the concept could be applied to household pets. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/pet-translator-amazon-report-cats-dogs-prairie-dogs-a7854831.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted July 24, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Funny thing is we ALL talk to dogs anyway....and sooner or later they know what a "walkies" is...or..."dinner" and "GET OFF the damned sofa" But might be fun to hear what they talk about....not that I expect they say a great deal Edited July 24, 2017 by seeder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like my ex wife lol Blue Jays not sure if I have ever seen one. However birds are pretty smart and I can tell if they are being naughty or nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted July 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I already *speak* dog so I doubt I'll bother buying such a device. Interesting concept though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
