About MeowTalk
Each cat has their own unique vocabulary that they use to communicate with their owners consistently when in the same context. For example, a cat can have their own distinct meow for “food” or for “let me out.” This is not necessarily a language, as cats do not share the same meows to communicate the same things with each other, but we can use Machine Learning to interpret an individual cat’s meows and translate that into a human readable language. MeowTalk by Akvelon gives your cat a voice!
Using machine learning MeowTalk instantaneously translates your cat’s meows into one of nine general cat intents; these nine intents represent cat moods and states of mind and are as follows:
- Happy/Content
- Defense
- Angry
- Attack
- Mother Call
- Mating Call
- In Pain
- Resting
- Hunting
In addition to these nine general intents, each cat also has a unique vocabulary of meows. You can train the MeowTalk app to learn your cat’s unique vocabulary of meows by telling the app what each meow means when your cat makes it. When you give the app 5 to 10 examples of a specific meow for your cat (e.g. “food”, “let me out”) the app can start to recognize that meow when it hears it. The meow recognition is updated once a day so it may take up to 24 hours for the app to start recognizing the new word after you have provided the training information.
To train the app to learn a specific meow pick a context where you know with certainty what your cat is trying to say (e.g. at feeding time the cat is saying “food”, at the door the cat is saying “let me out”). Use the app to translate those meows. You will get one of the nine general intents as a translation, select “No, Change it” and then provide the correct translation. Repeat this 5 to 10 times then wait up to 24 hours for the app to update and learn your cat’s new word.

Love this
Feb 15, 2021 So I ᖇᗴᗩᒪᒪƴ like this app. Totally what I wanted for my three legged cute adorable cat. Love love love love LOVE! But the one thing is...whenever I try to 'sign up' and i click 'password' nothing shows. Just the keyboard without any keys. It's weird. ᔕᗝ I just stopped trying because I wanted to see what my cat was meowing to me. I woukd recomend this app if you have chatty cats like me. But also, I'm talking to the creators here, make one for dogs! Seriously. My friend has a cute dog and my grandparents have TWO cute dogs. So I was like "ok I'll see if there is one like this for dogs." Everything that showed up wasbeither for training dogs, dog emoji thingies, and human to dog. I was like then "no app store. I don't want human to dog. I want dog to HUMAN" So yeah creators. Make a WoofTalk. Please? more -
Hit and miss
Apr 29, 2021 (Edit responding to developer: I have a cat profile set up. I’m using the option to translate without holding the button, so it’s translating many at once, if it hears them. When I try to edit any in the history it only has “unknown” as a choice, which doesn’t let me customize it. There’s no “other” showing up, and as far as I can tell mine is up to date. I’ve checked several times which is why I left a review finally since it seemed to have gotten worse with not hearing any when he’s right next to it after the update. I’m on an iPhone 11 and have my iOS up to date as well 🙁 in case it’s a device variant related issue ( / edit ) Lately it’ll miss my cats speech even when he’s right next to it. Other times it’ll hear him when I don’t. It even mistakes people noises as a cat once in a while, which is fine. I’m mostly annoyed at how many missed cat sounds there are lately when my cats talkative right next to it, or when he’s in another room but you can still hear him, talking up a storm. He stops if you go to him in those times... also please make a custom translation option. He came in here looking for food but it said “I’m looking for love” I think he was mostly thirsty. “Feed me” is a bit different when he’s looking for water and snacks I left for him and basically just saying he’s hungry but knows how to help himself. more -
Jun 5, 2021 Sadly, more often than not the app encouters an "application error". This indicates a programming error. I tried resetting my phone, force closing the app etc etc but the app still encouters that error. The only fix so far, that i have found was redownloading the app, but that makes me lose all translations that were built up. Other than that the app seems to do its job fairly okay. more -
Apr 24, 2021 This is one of the most fun, exciting, and adorable apps out there right now allowing you to translate your cat's "meow's". With the ability to set up multiple household cat profile's, and customize the feedback based on the owner-cat relationship. However, in my personal opinion, this app has nailed it 99% of the time. I always knew she was a daddy's girl, and she looked at me sweetly and said 'where is my dad' and still took pets on her head. I proceeded to use the app as proof to the hubby 🤣 more -
Pretty cool app! But the microphone needs some work.
Jan 29, 2021 I got this app for my cat, Silhouette. (I do have another cat named Ike but he doesn’t talk much). She’s a very chatty cat and I was so excited when I got this app. I haven’t used it much but so far it’s been pretty accurate. The only problem is the mic. The only time it picked up her meow was when she started down right at my iPad and meowed. Just today, I turned MeowTalk on because Silhouette was meowing a lot at me and I wanted to know what she was saying. She meowed about six times and the app didn’t pick up a single one of them. I don’t know if this is your fault of Apple’s but if you can, please make the app have a better microphone. Other than that, this app is awesome. This app is a very cool idea and lets you know what your cat is saying. Far better than any other app that I’ve tried. Ok, so actually I realized a little later that I had her profile set to ‘Male’. I’m hoping that this will fix the problem. more -
I sure hope it’s accurate <3
Nov 22, 2020 I love this app. I don’t know how accurate it is, but I feel like it’s close. We have a 13 year old lady who we are pretty sure we are going to lose soon. Being able to “translate” what’s she’s saying to us is incredibly precious. Also being able to listen back to her meows is something I didn’t know I wanted or needed. Perfect timing, thank you :) more -
Jun 16, 2021 On point! When i initially tried this app my kittens were only 4 months and it seemed that all they said was "mommy" and "i love you"... NOW, at almost a year old they say ALOT MORE! Just a while ago they were both saying they were tired and wanted to relax; They fell asleep. Lol Very interesting app... Idk how it exactly works, but it definitely does.. plus its nice having a record of there baby meows. Lol more -
Has a lot of potential!
Jan 7, 2021 I was so excited to try out this app when I heard about it on Facebook, and it’s super entertaining. Every time my kitty meows (which is fairly often) I pull up this app and see what it picks up. I noticed that it doesn’t pick up some pretty loud and clear meows, which can be disappointing but it still picks up a decent amount. The other issue I’ve had is that I can’t register my cat, so there’s no way for me to save her translations. I registered with my email so that’s not the issue, hoping a future update will fix this. But this app definitely has loads of potential and I’ve still been enjoying it despite a couple of hiccups! more -
Apr 9, 2021 Pretty fun app and seems accurate for the most part. Takes some time to start up the app as others said so you can't always catch your cat meowing unless you keep the app running at all times. I started using the app without an account just to play around, then decided to create an account but the data doesn't get synched over so not sure if I have to start over again and lose the local history? more -
This app is entertaining
Nov 19, 2020 Meows translated may not always be correct for your specific cat but I’ve got a ton of spot on translations. It’s also fun to see translations for meows you are unsure of and what you can take away from it. The one recommendation I have is for the app to allow you to change cats in the history. I had the automatic translation on (for my cat Ben) so it was constantly running. My other cat Ollie also started meowing but it logged under Ben. You can’t change the cat assigned to that recording in the history. You can only change the cat if you initiated a single recording. If that feature could be added that would be great! more

May 30, 2021 I would have given this 4 stars for entertainment value. Is it accurate? No, but it's fun! I took 2 stars off because of how buggy the app is. Every so often the app will give me an error message and not let me use it. Uninstalling and reinstalling it is the only way to fix it. It'll work for a few days and then I have to do the whole process over again because it gives me errors. Fix the bugs and you'd have a cute and fun entertainment app! more -
Definitely should stay in Beta - DISAPPOINTED
Nov 25, 2020 I cannot express how excited I was to hear about this app. More than one friend forwarded an article to me about this new technology. I immediately downloaded it and the first time I used the app, it worked, sort of. I created separate profiles for both of my cats. I recorded meows for one of my cats. However, I was disappointed that those sounds were not captured in the history at all. I was more than willing to pay for the premium version in order to store the recordings, but the interface of the app is so skimpy that there is no help section or FAQ section or even a way to upgrade to they are premium version. It didn’t matter because the very next time and there after I have received an error message that isn’t even grammatically correct. It says “Something goes wrong. Check your connection.” I have tried reinstalling the app and I’ve also tried creating another account and nothing has worked. It’s disappointing that this app has garnered so much buzz but simply does not work. I have a perfectly brand new iPhone and no other app has any problem with my connection. Not ready for primetime. Don’t waste yours in frustration. more -
Problems
Nov 18, 2020 1) If you use before registering, then decide to come back and register, it does not carry over the recordings of your cats or that you have input any cats at all. 2) If you go back and ‘skip registering’, the earlier recordings and all the input cats show back up. 3) I have 3 cats, one 15 yr old cat who talks ALL the time. According to the app, all he says is Hello. Hello when he gets up, Hello when he comes in the room, Hello when he’s hungry... While it does sound closely the same, the inflection is different . His purring ’I want attention/more attention’ sound is translated as ‘I’m sleepy’. (Not ’I’m content ‘?) I have put in my alternate interpretation, but now I’m stuck with Problem #4. 4) There is no way I can save what I have recorded/documented without erasing it all in order to ‘register’ the app to me/us. 5) The choices are SO unbelievably BASIC that I have to wonder - sorry here, guys! - do you even HAVE a cat or have you lived with any cats for an appreciable length of time, really? (P.S. I am 73 and I have lived with dogs and cats since I was too young to remember so I have listened to a lot of cats.) Good luck! more -
May 29, 2021 Loved the idea of it! It just doesn't translate anything my cat says. It picks up on her meows, but nothing comes up. Tried when she wanted out a door, she's loud when a door doesn't open, but it doesn't even translate that. It seems to be working for other people, so I'm quite dissapointed. more -
Not very accurate
Jan 31, 2021 I took a recording of my cat clearly trying to get out of my arms and sounding angry and the translation said “I feel loved” or something like that, which was totally off. Other meows that clearly sounded happy were translated to negative things like “I’m in pain” or “I don’t feel 100%”. I will keep adjusting the meaning of the sounds and see if it gets more accurate over time but after one day of using it on 5 chatty cats, I’m not impressed. Also wish there were more options for what you can change the meaning of the meow to. Or at least a spot where you can write what you thought it meant. more -
May 30, 2021 downloaded yesterday. it can't detect one of my cats at all and got the other one wrong 80% of the time. it's not detecting anything today even when my cat is screaming into the microphone, so uninstalling. -
May 28, 2021 It never hears any noise my cat makes. And the ads always show up directly over the 'Listen' button which is annoying if my cat is talking right in that moment but I have to wait for an ad to disappear. Uninstalling -
Apr 12, 2021 It always gives me the same translation but I know my cat isn't looking out the window, laying down and playing with the dog saying the same exact thing. Only on ocassion it will say my cat wants love and I think thats the only accurate one. more -
May 27, 2021 Guys, since the last Android update Meow Talk doesn't use the mike. It just says that it can't hear the cat. Can you check this out. Otherwise I love the app.

Jun 1, 2021 Awesome idea...anything that has to do with improved communication with cats will ALWAYS receive a 5 star rating from me. My calico and I are keeping a close eye on what the app(s) evolves into possibly. This rating is extremely biased because I love cats so much. more -
May 24, 2021 Awesome app that works, but just one recommendation: add an option to rate as correct or incorrect a translation of the cat's meows after detecting them: when visiting the results, allow us to rate older translations, not just in the exact moment we use the app! Thank you! more -
Apr 11, 2021 This app is surprisingly accurate. I thought my cat's meows sounded all the same (except when he's in the car or at the vet) but actually I'm learning how different they are! It's also kind of funny what he's saying. Today when I went to feed him he said "let's eat now!" 😹 more -
Jun 9, 2021 It seems pretty accurate now, just wish that it could pick up cats with soft meows. I have a blind kitty that meows really quietly and the app can't hear her. -
Needs to be revamped ! It better instructions
Feb 5, 2021 I’ve been trying to use this app for about two months and it works fairly well with my kitty talks but I cannot register her so the history never saves! Even when I try to register her in the beginning of using the app it still doesn’t let me register it says the app will not allow me please fix!! more -
It is pretty accurate
Jan 30, 2021 I lost my kitty about two weeks ago now. I downloaded the app for the fun of it- I got irritated and uninstalled it when it kept translating to “I’m in pain”, “I’m not doing so well”, or “I love you”. A few days after she passed away in her sleep, as it was her time to go. I think it worked fine and it was her trying to let me know it was her time to go. more

Love the idea
Feb 27, 2021 Saw that a friend had downloaded this app and was using it to translate for her cat. I figured I’d give it a try cause sometimes my cats just meow like crazy in the hallway and no idea why. No matter the result, it would have been interesting/funny to see what they’re thinking. Unfortunately, when I go to sign up, I get a network error, and can’t continue. Will update rating if I can ever get in to use the app. -edit... as soon as I hit send, I went back to the app and the network error issues cleared up. Now just waiting for the cats to start meowing to see how well this works. more -
4 Paws Up
Jan 31, 2021 Such a fun app! I love my two kitties and translating our 'conversations' makes me feel more connected to them. Overall, very astute! One of my girls is a major whiner for attention and the app interprets her cries as 'in pain' so we need more self-selections like, 'I demand your attention', 'Please notice me' and 'I'm bored' so I can help you translate more accurately. My other girl is a squeaker and it's more difficult to hear her but she loves my husband so we were amazed when the app indicated she is saying, 'Daddy!' or 'Where's my dad?'. So great. Thank you! more -
Needs an option to change cats after recording
May 5, 2021 I’m loving this app but my only complaint is that when it’s set to “auto-translate” it doesn’t let you assign individual meows to different cats. There should be an option in history or under the individual cat to change who said it. There also needs to be options to add custom translations when using auto-translate, because the options I have to choose from don’t always apply. more -
Great game 😻
Mar 4, 2021 Im not completely sure that this app is accurate, but what I’ve seen so far it seems pretty accurate and i have 2 cats and one day one of them was meowing and they were pawing at the food bowl and i tried out the app and it translated correctly and translated to “Im hungry” so i do suggest this app especially if you have a very chatty kitty cat 🐈🐱🌈 (The only reason why i gave this review 4 stars is because I’m not 100% positive that it is completely accurate but I’m sure that it is pretty accurate) more -
Loving it
Feb 12, 2021 So far I’m loving using this app. It seems very well built and does a great job picking up meows. 4 stars because the options for manually translating an audio clip seem a bit limited. For example, “I want to play” or “Play with me” would be a very good addition that is currently missing. Edit: Coming back to say my cat’s profile disappeared after 1 day. Pretty annoying since I had already logged quite a few translations. Hopefully it won’t happen again more -
Seems cool but I dont have the chance to actually use
Nov 24, 2020 I saw this on tiktok and it seemed pretty cool so I decided to try it out. I tried signing up and apparently my email is already in use even tho Ive never used this before in my life so I had to use my work email oh well. When I was successfully signed in started finishing creating my cat profiles but when I tried pressing done it just said “Ooooops!” Or something so I cant please fix this. more

Hit and miss
Apr 29, 2021 (Edit responding to developer: I have a cat profile set up. I’m using the option to translate without holding the button, so it’s translating many at once, if it hears them. When I try to edit any in the history it only has “unknown” as a choice, which doesn’t let me customize it. There’s no “other” showing up, and as far as I can tell mine is up to date. I’ve checked several times which is why I left a review finally since it seemed to have gotten worse with not hearing any when he’s right next to it after the update. I’m on an iPhone 11 and have my iOS up to date as well 🙁 in case it’s a device variant related issue ( / edit ) Lately it’ll miss my cats speech even when he’s right next to it. Other times it’ll hear him when I don’t. It even mistakes people noises as a cat once in a while, which is fine. I’m mostly annoyed at how many missed cat sounds there are lately when my cats talkative right next to it, or when he’s in another room but you can still hear him, talking up a storm. He stops if you go to him in those times... also please make a custom translation option. He came in here looking for food but it said “I’m looking for love” I think he was mostly thirsty. “Feed me” is a bit different when he’s looking for water and snacks I left for him and basically just saying he’s hungry but knows how to help himself. more -
Jun 5, 2021 Sadly, more often than not the app encouters an "application error". This indicates a programming error. I tried resetting my phone, force closing the app etc etc but the app still encouters that error. The only fix so far, that i have found was redownloading the app, but that makes me lose all translations that were built up. Other than that the app seems to do its job fairly okay. more -
Apr 9, 2021 Pretty fun app and seems accurate for the most part. Takes some time to start up the app as others said so you can't always catch your cat meowing unless you keep the app running at all times. I started using the app without an account just to play around, then decided to create an account but the data doesn't get synched over so not sure if I have to start over again and lose the local history? more -
Apr 2, 2021 It's a very good app, quite accurate with the translation but it needs improvement. If your cat has a quiet meow it won't capture it. I still couldn't get a translation of one of my cats. It doesn't work in the background to get the random cats talk. Takes forever to open and it has ads where the start button is, by the time I open it my cat stopped It keeps signing me out every day and all the recordings are gone. Every morning I have to log in. It stopped working over WiFi 3 days ago suddenly. more -
Problems with History
Nov 22, 2020 For some reason, only some of the meows I record have saved! I set up an account and have made all of my cats profiles, but I’m sad that a lot of the recordings for the app haven’t saved - especially since my cats aren’t big on meowing so it’s hard to get them to continuously “chat.” I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this so far, but I have and am not sure how to resolve it. Aside from that, the app is cute and while it isn’t always correct with translations some of them have been spot-on. Hopefully they have a new update soon! more -
Apr 1, 2021 This app worked once for me , and when it did, I enjoyed it. I'd like this problem fixed. Error network connectivity error, please check your network connection and try again :ssl. It pops up when it tries to open -
May 6, 2021 I like it so far, it's cute knowing what my kitties are saying, BUT the app takes too long to open and sometimes I miss my cats meows because of it, and the cat limit is also a problem, I have 20 cats and the limit is 10, there should be a way to increase it more -
Potential for good and trouble
Nov 24, 2020 I would suggest adding a temperament or some other variable, selectable in cat profile creation, that would make this more accurate for each user right off the bat. My siamese mix has always had a really grumpy, fussy sounding meow. The app keeps saying “I’m in pain!” when she’s clearly happy, or just wants to be let outside. I would be especially careful with that one, or you’ll have people running to the vet saying their cat is in pain, and they know so because their cat translator told them. more -
Jun 1, 2021 The app functions when it wants to; I've been recently getting errors whenever I switch to my own cat or look at the translation history. You might want to restabalize and debug this.

May 30, 2021 I would have given this 4 stars for entertainment value. Is it accurate? No, but it's fun! I took 2 stars off because of how buggy the app is. Every so often the app will give me an error message and not let me use it. Uninstalling and reinstalling it is the only way to fix it. It'll work for a few days and then I have to do the whole process over again because it gives me errors. Fix the bugs and you'd have a cute and fun entertainment app! more -
Problems
Nov 18, 2020 1) If you use before registering, then decide to come back and register, it does not carry over the recordings of your cats or that you have input any cats at all. 2) If you go back and ‘skip registering’, the earlier recordings and all the input cats show back up. 3) I have 3 cats, one 15 yr old cat who talks ALL the time. According to the app, all he says is Hello. Hello when he gets up, Hello when he comes in the room, Hello when he’s hungry... While it does sound closely the same, the inflection is different . His purring ’I want attention/more attention’ sound is translated as ‘I’m sleepy’. (Not ’I’m content ‘?) I have put in my alternate interpretation, but now I’m stuck with Problem #4. 4) There is no way I can save what I have recorded/documented without erasing it all in order to ‘register’ the app to me/us. 5) The choices are SO unbelievably BASIC that I have to wonder - sorry here, guys! - do you even HAVE a cat or have you lived with any cats for an appreciable length of time, really? (P.S. I am 73 and I have lived with dogs and cats since I was too young to remember so I have listened to a lot of cats.) Good luck! more -
Not very accurate
Jan 31, 2021 I took a recording of my cat clearly trying to get out of my arms and sounding angry and the translation said “I feel loved” or something like that, which was totally off. Other meows that clearly sounded happy were translated to negative things like “I’m in pain” or “I don’t feel 100%”. I will keep adjusting the meaning of the sounds and see if it gets more accurate over time but after one day of using it on 5 chatty cats, I’m not impressed. Also wish there were more options for what you can change the meaning of the meow to. Or at least a spot where you can write what you thought it meant. more -
May 30, 2021 downloaded yesterday. it can't detect one of my cats at all and got the other one wrong 80% of the time. it's not detecting anything today even when my cat is screaming into the microphone, so uninstalling. -
Apr 12, 2021 It always gives me the same translation but I know my cat isn't looking out the window, laying down and playing with the dog saying the same exact thing. Only on ocassion it will say my cat wants love and I think thats the only accurate one. more -
May 27, 2021 Guys, since the last Android update Meow Talk doesn't use the mike. It just says that it can't hear the cat. Can you check this out. Otherwise I love the app.

Definitely should stay in Beta - DISAPPOINTED
Nov 25, 2020 I cannot express how excited I was to hear about this app. More than one friend forwarded an article to me about this new technology. I immediately downloaded it and the first time I used the app, it worked, sort of. I created separate profiles for both of my cats. I recorded meows for one of my cats. However, I was disappointed that those sounds were not captured in the history at all. I was more than willing to pay for the premium version in order to store the recordings, but the interface of the app is so skimpy that there is no help section or FAQ section or even a way to upgrade to they are premium version. It didn’t matter because the very next time and there after I have received an error message that isn’t even grammatically correct. It says “Something goes wrong. Check your connection.” I have tried reinstalling the app and I’ve also tried creating another account and nothing has worked. It’s disappointing that this app has garnered so much buzz but simply does not work. I have a perfectly brand new iPhone and no other app has any problem with my connection. Not ready for primetime. Don’t waste yours in frustration. more -
May 29, 2021 Loved the idea of it! It just doesn't translate anything my cat says. It picks up on her meows, but nothing comes up. Tried when she wanted out a door, she's loud when a door doesn't open, but it doesn't even translate that. It seems to be working for other people, so I'm quite dissapointed. more -
May 28, 2021 It never hears any noise my cat makes. And the ads always show up directly over the 'Listen' button which is annoying if my cat is talking right in that moment but I have to wait for an ad to disappear. Uninstalling
What’s Groovy
I haven't had much luck with "Tap to Translate", it'd say "application error" but MeowRoom's been great, it doesn't capture the entire room but the room is rather large and there was TV noise mixed in so it's understandable. The translations have been fitting so far. My cat was laying between my arm and my ribs and I was watching a movie, he meowed and MeowRoom translated it as "My love, can you hear my voice?" I was walking down the dark hallway, he meowed and it translated to "What?"

What’s Subpar
Our older cat intermittently cries. We wanted to r/o pain. Using the auto translate fearure we captured multiple instances of the same vocalizations in rapid succession. We have done this multiple times in the hope of being able to obtain an accurate translation. However, our conclusion is that the "translations" are random and not real. The request to authenticate or change the translations is bizarre. If we knew, we would not need this app. Fake
