Dog Translator: Bark Diary

If you have ever wondered what is actually going on when your dog barks, this app tells you what it hears: the type of sound, how excited they are, the pitch, the roughness and the length. The whole analysis runs inside your phone and the recording never leaves it. How it works Tap the paw and record the bark. As soon as the recording stops, the app places the sound in one of three families: a bark, a growl, or a long call, which is the howl and whine family. Alongside it you get the measurements pulled out of the sound itself: arousal, liveliness, pitch, roughness, duration. If two families come out too close to call, it does not guess, it says so. No microphone handy? Try one of the built-in sample barks. What you will not find here is a dog translator that puts sentences in your dog's mouth. The reason is simple: there is no reliable way to read intent from a dog's voice, so we do not pretend otherwise. Everything you see comes from measurable properties of the sound. The diary Every recording lands on that day's timeline. The daily summary shows how often they spoke up, and the day's pulse shows when: morning, midday, evening or night. You can add your own note to any entry. Health radar Once enough recordings pile up, the app learns what normal sounds like for your dog and quietly points out the drift: is vocal activity up over the last 14 days, has the pitch moved, how many night calls between 02:00 and 05:00, are the long calls becoming more frequent. These are observations, not diagnoses. If something looks off, it builds a ready-made sound and behaviour summary you can show your vet. Chat Pick a phrase and let your dog hear it. What comes out is real dog audio, not synthesised: the library is licensed through Freesound and every clip is credited by name inside the app. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PRO Recording, analysis, the diary and the health radar are free and unlimited. There is no banner, interstitial or launch ad anywhere in the app. Chat is where Pro comes in. Your first five phrases are free, so you can try the whole library first. After that it opens in two ways: watch a rewarded video for three hours of full access (up to two times), or subscribe to Dog Translator Pro — monthly, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers, cancel any time from your store account. Neither touches listening. Everyone in the house If you live with more than one dog, each one gets their own profile: name, breed, age, sex, weight, photo and your notes. The diary, the health radar and the measurements are kept separately for each of them. Your data stays yours Recordings, photos and the diary live on this phone only. No audio, photo or note is ever sent to a server, and because the bark analysis runs on the device, it works without an internet connection. There is no account to create. Anonymous usage events, such as which screens open, are collected so we can see where the app trips people up; those events never include your dog's name, sound, photo or notes. You can erase everything in one tap. If you choose to watch a rewarded video, Google receives your device's advertising identifier so the ad can be served and measured; in Europe you are asked for consent first, and you can change that answer later in Settings. If you subscribe, the store receipt and an anonymous install identifier go to RevenueCat so the subscription can be restored on a new phone. Neither ever carries your recordings, photos, notes or your dog's name. Also English and Turkish. Six colour themes, light and dark. It asks for microphone access to record, and camera or photo access if you want a profile picture. Please note: this app is not a diagnostic tool and it does not replace a visit to the vet. If you are worried about your dog's health, talk to your vet.
