Same, I thought it'd generate audio much like classic stego used images.
2/5, guys, sorry. I came here for an epic adventure and was disappointed.

Same :(
Great presentation, but I'll be holding my breath for v2 that actually generates audio of purring and hissing and meowing cats.

Dang, me too.

For those interested in steganography-based encryption techniques, some well-known cryptology researchers designed a system for formally transforming encrypted messages into the (well-formed) contents of arbitrary protocols or communication mediums. The technique is called format transforming encryption [1], and it could be applicable here to help conceal the very presence of encryption being used by one who knows the stegonagraphic scheme.

This is great.

For the best experience, try saying "meow" or "woof" out loud while your encryption runs. It doesn't affect the algorithm at all, but it does make you feel more connected to the process!

I've been doing this for years

Underrated. And magnificent.

I want my phone to meow my text messages, encrypted with PurrCrypt, instead of the notification sounds.

Damn, was thinking it used audio. Lame.

Technically, disguised as pet onomatopoeia. I was so hoping for actual sounds. :)
