Welcome to Dog Talk, the App that Lets Your Dog Talk
Dog Talk is a simple iPad app that your dog can touch to speak out
loud. It is very simple. It has four big images that each fill a quarter
of the screen: a car, a bowl of food, a leash, and a Frisbee. When your
dog touches one, it announces out loud "I'm hungry" and so on.

About Dog Talk
What It Does
It announced 4 messages when your dog touches the respective image on
its single screen.
Who It's For
Your dog, cat, or other minimally intelligent coconspirator, probably
a mammal but that's up to you.
How to Use It
- Turn the volume up about half way.
- Put it on a horizontal surface and put your furry friend in front
of it. If they touch one of the icons it will announce their presumed
intention.
- Do what they ask. At this point, they're training you (!). You've
got to do they corresponding action to reinforce their behavior.
- To redisplay all the images, click Reset.
- To get their attention, click the dogbone. It will bark.
- Be persistent. You didn't learn to talk with one repetition and neither
will they.
Features
- One screen, showing 4 big images.
- Announces a short sound file, one for each image.
- "I'm hungry."
- "I want to go
for a ride in the car."
- "I want to play."
- "I want to go
for a walk."
- Sounds play when the images are touched, not when
released, since dogs aren't great with touchscreens.
- Hides the other 3 images after one image is clicked.
This prevents Fido from clicking multiple sounds all at once.
- Announces a barking
sound when first launched, to get Fido's attention.
- Announces a barking sound when you touch the dogbone
icon, to get Fido's attention.
- There are no About or Settings functions.
