FAQ

Why does the app need microphone permission?

Tiny Tell records a short audio sample when you tap the analyze button so it can classify your baby's cry. The recording is sent to a private inference server operated by the developer, classified, and then immediately discarded. No audio is stored on the server.

Where is my audio processed?

On a private inference server operated by the developer (Hafs Ibrahim). Audio is transmitted over an encrypted connection, classified by a single ML model, and discarded immediately after the result is returned. No third-party AI services, no cloud LLM providers, no analytics vendors have access to your audio.

What do the insights mean?

Each cry is classified into one of 9 categories — hungry, tired, discomfort, and more. The app returns the top 3 most likely reasons with confidence scores, plus actionable advice for the top prediction.

Recording isn't working — troubleshooting

  • Check that you've granted microphone permission in iOS Settings → Tiny Tell
  • Ensure the app is running in the foreground when you tap Analyze
  • Verify your network connection — audio is sent to the inference server, so a connection is required at analyze time
  • Try closing and reopening the app
  • If the issue persists, email me at the contact address above

How accurate is the classification model?

The current model achieves 90.5% accuracy on held-out test data. It was trained on real baby cry samples with phone microphone simulation to match your device's recording quality. The model is operated entirely by the developer — no third-party AI services.

Can I delete my insight history?

Yes — go to Settings within the app and tap "Clear History". Your insight history is stored locally on your device only, so clearing it removes all records. The server has no copy.

Is this app a medical device?

No. Tiny Tell is a caregiver-convenience tool only. It is not designed for medical diagnosis, treatment, or any clinical use. If you have concerns about your baby's health, contact your pediatrician or emergency services.
