And... this really works? The farmer on the videos of the link made it seem kinda like a joke app. Unfortuneatly I can't try because I don't own one of those devices...

well, I bet it doesn't work...only because we don't know what they are really saying.

Edit: the product doesn't seem to exist right now.

yeah, also...I know cats communicate by movement as well as voice...so it seems impossible to understand what it says though it's voice alone...

Also, I couldn't help but laugh with what the website wrote here: "It is not Google’s responsibility if you are offended or disappointed by what your chosen animal may say. Also please note, we do not guarantee stimulating conversation."

It feels like they know it's not quite as good as people would hope it to be...

Google changed their name to Topeka?

It'll be like that one beer commercial.

Dog: "Food Food Food Food Food Food"

Yeah, that's...an interesting conversation.

Just a thought: How many people think that talking birds actually understand what they're saying?

This sounds like a very late April Fools joke. Because quiet frankly, its a pretty dumb idea that i don't know how in the world could possibly be accurate.

It was actually an on-time April Fools Day joke, but someone resurrected the thread.
