This app will tell what baby's cries actually mean

Babies cry a lot, but the reason behind their cries isn't always so clear.

An app to find out why Baby is crying: Undoubtedly, parenting is not an easy job at all. The sound collection part was done by the National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin over the past 24 months. But now, it seems the time has come to end all the difficulties as a new app recently developed by researchers can help to decode baby's crying and can tell parents what their baby's crying means. When the baby is crying the parents need to record ten seconds of the screaming and then the sound will be automatically uploaded to the Cloud.

A new app decodes babies' crying after only 10 seconds of recording. The lead authors of the experiment, Doctor Chen Si-da and Chang Chuan-yu say that for now the app will only differentiate between these four cries. According to the researchers, the app boasts an accuracy of 92 percent for infants under two weeks old.

According to its developers, the app becomes totally useless once the child becomes older than six months as the baby starts being affected by many other different factors from their environment besides their primary needs that are hunger, sleep, pain and wet diaper.

There is an app for just about everything: from calling a cab to finding your true love, you can simply whip out your smartphone and get tapping. After that, a massive set of online database was created.

"For the new parent like us, we are most afraid of seeing the baby crying and then not knowing what we should do".

The Newsoms said they tested the app with their baby Brayden and the app showed that the baby was hungry.

The app is 92 percent accurate in distinguishing the crying sound of newborn babies under two weeks old and becomes less accurate as the child grows older. In four months olds, the app can translate the crying sounds with 77 percent accuracy.

Another awesome thing about the Infant Cries Translator is that its machine learning algorithm allows parents to set up their personal setting for their children.

The app constantly updates its database via a Cloud Drive. Once users download the app, the baby's birth date and nationality must be entered to provide accurate results.

'So Mum can depend on the actual situation to determine whether the analysis result is correct or not, to make a revision for the app'. "When we don't know what we should do, this app can make some simple judgments for us, so we are able to know what our next step is", he said.

The app is available for $2.99 on the App Store and on Google Play.
