# Emoji-Deciphering Chat Bots 'Decodemoji' Turns Emoji Strings into Grammatical Sentences By Joey Haar | Published 2016-07-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emoji-strings References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/tech/decodemoji) & [decodemoji](http://decodemoji.com/?ref=producthunt) For those who've ever received emoji strings during a texting conversation and been completely perplexed, there's a new chat bot that can put some fun into deciphering them. 'Decodemoji' is a Facebook Messenger chat bot that takes as input any and all emojis and translates them into grammatically correct English sentences. Unfortunately, Decodemoji is not a Rosetta Stone that can decode the ever-abundant sets of emoji strings released on different operating systems and keyboards. Though syntactically valid, Decodemoji's sentences tend to logically absurd: "The newspaper gets stuck in a snowstorm at 10:30am. Soon afterwards, the biker makes a hotdog," for example. More toy than tool, though, the chat bot effectively illustrates the patent silliness of texters using [tiny icons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojis-generator) to try and convey meaning -- a silliness that nonetheless permeates online communication today. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Emoji Translation:** Opportunity to develop chat bots that can accurately decipher and translate complex emoji strings into coherent sentences. - **Improve Online Communication:** Opportunity to create tools that enhance online communication by reducing ambiguity and misinterpretation of emoji usage. - **Fun and Interactive Chat Bots:** Opportunity to design chat bots that not only serve functional purposes but also bring entertainment and amusement to users. ### Who This Affects Most - **Messaging Platforms:** Potential for messaging platforms to integrate emoji translation chat bots to improve user experience and enhance communication. - **Language Technology:** Opportunity for language technology companies to develop advanced algorithms and models for accurate and intelligent emoji translation. - **Digital Marketing:** Possibility for digital marketing agencies to leverage emoji translation chat bots as a creative and engaging way to enhance brand communication and customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emoji-Deciphering Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emoji-riddle-challenge.md) - [Text-to-Emoji Converters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neatemoji.md) - [Emoji Language Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojitalk.md) - [Personalized Emoji Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojibu.md) - [Emotion-Driven Messaging Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emochat.md) - [Personalized AI Emojis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojifyer-ai.md) - [Emoji Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedmoji.md) - [Animated-Photo AI-Fueled Chat Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embodyme.md) - [Emoji-Only Communication Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sega-emojam.md)
