What Users See In A Translation Session.

PetSpeak sessions provide multiple data points beyond simple text output so users can interpret pet communication with more context and safer decision-making.

Session Fields

Core outputs available to users

Reading note: Treat all outputs as probabilistic assistance, not guaranteed literal language.

Likely Intent

Need / Alert / Play / Distress / Social

Primary interpretation cluster. Useful for quickly triaging what your pet may be trying to communicate.

Tone Profile

Calm / Excited / Anxious / Defensive

Derived from pitch contour, repetition, and intensity shifts to estimate emotional color of the signal.

Stress-Aggression Likelihood

Low / Medium / High

A caution index for potential defensive escalation. It is directional and should be paired with direct observation.

Urgency Window

Routine / Soon / Immediate

Estimates how quickly a response may be needed based on sound pattern and context markers.

Confidence Band

0-100 score + band

How stable the prediction is under current audio quality and known training coverage.

Noise Quality

Clean / Mixed / Noisy

Flags environmental contamination that can reduce interpretation reliability.

Context Match

Strong / Partial / Weak

Indicates whether the current scene resembles known training conditions for this pet profile.

Trend Delta

Up / Flat / Down

Compares this session with recent sessions to show whether stress or urgency appears to be rising.

Safety Guidance

How to act on session signals

When confidence is low

Re-record closer to the pet, reduce background noise, and add context before acting.

When aggression likelihood is medium/high

Increase distance, remove triggers if possible, and prioritize safety over interpretation detail.

When urgency is immediate

Treat as a prompt to check your pet physically and environment first, then use app outputs as support.
