Potato Translator
Keep the mic armed while you're with your cat. When it meows, tap Save meow — the app keeps the last few seconds, so you never miss the start.
Audio stays on this phone until you export it.
Listening…
Tip: add to Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen) so iOS is less likely to clear your clips. The mic stops when the screen locks or you switch apps.
Clips
No clips yet. Record one on the Record tab.
Settings
Export dataset
A .zip with every clip as 16 kHz mono WAV, plus labels.csv and labels.json. This is also your backup.
Model guesses
Uses YAMNet plus a model trained on the CatMeows dataset (other cats; food, brushing and alone/stressed only). It's right about half the time on cats it hasn't heard. The guess appears after you tag, so it can't influence your answer. The first use downloads about 9 MB.
Recording
Plus 1 s after you tap, so a meow in progress isn't cut off.
Contexts
The situations you tag. Ones marked ≈ line up with the CatMeows dataset (food, brushing, isolation), which makes transfer learning easier.
