\"baby-translator-web\"A new baby translator<\/a> is now available for your iPhone<\/a>. It won’t translate your babies gurgles and screams into “lavish attention on me, and entertain me,” or “I want what the cat’s eating<\/a>,” but the inventors claim the app<\/a> will analyze your baby’s cries and tell you roughly what the little one is trying to say.<\/p>

According to Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>

The Cry Translator uses patented technology to analyze the tone and duration of the cries and match them to one of five possible types: hungry, sleepy, annoyed, stressed or bored.<\/p><\/blockquote>

No, the translator wasn’t built by Herb Powell<\/a> (of the memorable Simpsons episode), but rather by Spanish developer Biloop Technologic<\/a>. The developer claims that the app was shown to be 90 percent accurate in clinical trials, although they don’t say if these trials were published in a scientific journal (so presumably not). However, if your wailing baby befuddles you, or if you want to be an obnoxious back-seat parent, you can pick up the translator for $9.99.<\/p>
