A groundbreaking AI-powered pet translator developed in China has entered the global market, promising to convert animal sounds into human language with 95% claimed accuracy. The device, named *Meng Xiaoyi* (梦想译), opened its pre-order window on May 1 ahead of its official retail launch. Within days, it has already attracted significant international interest, securing over 10,000 reservations from consumers across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
Developed by a Beijing-based AI startup specializing in cross-species communication, *Meng Xiaoyi* uses advanced neural networks trained on thousands of hours of animal vocalizations. The device is designed to recognize and interpret barks, meows, chirps, and other sounds, translating them into text or voice messages in real time via a companion smartphone app. Early promotional material suggests it can differentiate between emotions such as hunger, distress, or excitement in pets.
