Baby Monitor Translates Cries for Parents Who Just Want to Understand

by Terrence O'Brien on July 13, 2009 at 08:34 AM

Now that the gadget hordes have conquered the task of translating dogs' barks into something human understand, it's time to move on to that other frustrating non-speaker in your life, your baby.

The Why Cry Baby Analyzer (which we can only assume was inspired by a particular 'Simpsons' episode) uses something called "advanced frequency analysis technology" to translate all that crying and wailing into icons (smiley face = hungry, frowny face = bored, etc) on an LCD screen that explain what your baby is allegedly feeling. There is a handy guide on the side of course that will help you decipher if your child is hungry, tired, stressed, etc...

The Baby Analyzer is available from Think Geek for $99.99.

Now all we need is a device that will help us decipher what our pre-teen nieces are always carrying on about. [From: Walyou]

If you need "advanced frequency analysis technology" to tell you your baby is hungry, you shouldn't have children.
