MeowTalk
MeowTalk is an app that promises to translate your cat’s wails, chirps, and regular cat noises into sentences that you can understand; sentences like “mom, where are you?” and “feed me already” and “ow.” The app was developed by a former Amazon Alexa engineer, and the guy built this app presumably using the same smarts. But you have to wonder if the similarities stop there, or if this kitty-friendly recorder has the same… major security flaws that the average Alexa does. If my cat meows into the app, will that meow get stored on some server forever? Is there a shadowy workforce of MeowTalk workers somewhere, analyzing that meow and mining it for data to bolster the app’s kitty smarts? Personally, I’m not waiting around to find out.
