FAQ

Common questions

Everything people ask before they start.

Is my dog's audio stored?

Audio is processed in real time and optionally stored in your encrypted cloud account so you can review history and generate reports. You can delete all data at any time from Settings.

How accurate is it?

Two honest answers. Bark detection (is this a dog bark?) is measured — recalibrated on real field recordings. Emotion is harder: we measure it against a real labelled dataset, and the energy/arousal signal is weak-but-real, while the positive-vs-negative read is still close to a guess. So treat emotions as an informational acoustic estimate, not a clinical diagnosis — and your feedback improves it over time.

Does it work with all breeds?

Bark detection analyses acoustic features (pitch, rate, harmonics-to-noise) present across all breeds. The emotion model has so far been measured on two breeds (husky and shiba), so for other breeds emotion readings lean on breed-relative acoustic rules and should be treated as estimates. Detection works regardless of breed.

What if my dog doesn't bark?

Silence detection tracks quiet periods too — useful for separation monitoring. You can also upload an existing clip instead of recording live.

How much does it cost?

It's free. Every feature, no subscription, no card required — just sign up and start recording.
