Baby Got App

If your parental instincts aren’t on point, and you don’t know why your baby is crying incessantly, don’t worry - there’s an app that’s going to make it all better.

The Cry Translator works by analyzing the pitch, volume, tone and inflection of a baby’s cry, and provides you with an answer in only ten seconds. You’ll know whether your baby is hungry, sleepy, stressed, annoyed or bored. This doesn’t mean, however, that your role as parents has become obsolete; it just means your iPhone understands your baby better than you do.

The application is aimed not only at easing new parents’ anxieties, but teaching them the meaning of particular types of crying; well worth the $9.99 investment. And it promises to work not only infants, but crybabies of all ages. Hmm. Wonder if it works on interns?
