About this app
How can computers learn to recognize birds from sounds? The BirdNET research project uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to train computers to identify more than 3,000 of the most common species worldwide. You can record a file using the microphone of your Android device and see if BirdNET correctly identifies the probable bird species present in your recording. Get to know the birds around you and help us to collect observations by submitting your recordings.
BirdNET is a joint project of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Chemnitz University of Technology.

It's a great app, but it lacks backup functionality, either locally or via the cloud, leaving recordings vulnerable to data loss. Scrolling through recordings beyond 30 seconds is impossible, making it frustrating to analyze data outside that timeframe despite the option to record longer. Selecting the entire 30-second spectrogram is also difficult on modern phones, as touching the far left or right edges triggers Android’s navigation gestures, making precise selection impossible.

How can one delete ALL recordings in one go. Can only delete one by one, which can take a long time One suggestion. The exported WAV files has only the date of export. It would be good if the date of recording is also in the WAV file, and also perhaps the lat/long, interpreted bird and reliability be in the WAV file headers.

REVIEW EDIT: This app has made me want to sit out and admire birds so much more not only can you record and have it analyzed and find out what type of bird it is but you can also learn more about that specific bird too!!!! BEST APP IF YOU LOVE BIRDS!!!! I absolutely love and appreciate this app so very much! I am excited to learn so much about the birds that surround me! I love the Finch family, and the Hummingbird family is my favorite!!!!
