This morning I read about an iPhone app called Bowlingual that translates what your dog barks and posts it to twitter.

The way it works is that you need to let your dog bark into the iPhone mic first. The app then uses a special algorithm to analyze what your dog wants from you and displays it on the iPhone screen. On the picture above (left half), for example, the dog says “Let’s play together”.
