Analysis History
How It Works
- Our tool captures your pet's sounds using your device's microphone or an uploaded audio file.
- The audio is analyzed in your browser using the Web Audio API — nothing is sent to any server.
- We measure four key properties: energy level, duration, approximate frequency, and repetition patterns.
- Based on these acoustic features, our algorithm matches the sound against known behavioral patterns to estimate your pet's likely emotion or intent.
