Where is your dog?
⚙️ Dog size — medium
A small dog's bark is always higher than a big dog's, so telling the app your dog's size makes it judge your dog fairly.

❓ How does this actually work?
It measures four things: pitch (high squeaky barks usually mean excited, low grumbly ones mean alert), speed (fast repeated barks mean more worked up), place (which you tap in yourself), and movement (how much changes on camera between one picture and the next).

The camera cannot tell a tail from a head — a person walking past counts too. It only measures how much is moving.

Then it looks up an answer in a list of rules. It is a guess, not real translation. Nobody can turn barks into English sentences — but pitch, speed, place and movement really do tell you something.
