Story of the Week: No kidding. A real iPhone app was launched by Spanish company Biloop Technologiccalled the the Cry Translator . The company says this ground-breaking application is designed to help parents and caregivers learn to understand their baby's first language - their cry. The Cry Translator involves a revolutionary sound analysis technology that quickly identifies an infant's cry, based on one of five emotional or physiological states: hunger, fatigue, annoyance, stress or boredom. These five cries are universal to all babies regardless of culture or language.
The application interface is designed to be highly visual and extremely user-friendly. Babies' cries are analyzed and identified within 10 seconds, with a 96% degree of accuracy, easing caregiver anxiety and prompting appropriate response to the baby's needs. Once the cry has been identified, helpful tips to calm the infant are also provided.

"There is a tremendous amount of research supporting that babies who are responded to consistently and appropriately will cry less and develop stronger social and cognitive skills", say Pedro Barrera and Luis Meca, the creators of the Cry Translator.
