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.

User Interface and app behavior is bad is for recording multiple segments. I have lost many recording samples because of it. I want to create and manage multiple recordings, but instead new recordings replace the previous track. You'll learn after many failures that you have to manually choose a segment, then save it for later. Otherwise it only saves tracks I have submitted for analysis, which costs mobile data and I want to avoid using it up in the forest.

Excellent technology, incredibly useful in most conditions. The reporting of results is fast and user-friendly. Three flaws: (1) the Play button doesn't work (at least in Android), so selecting the right section of the recording to analyze is guesswork; (2) there seems to be no way to check the version number; and (3) there is no way to disable automatic identification of your location by GPS, or to select it manually, so as to detect birds that are not normally in your area.

Great interface. Has trouble with unusual calls and regional song variations, which I have noticed with bluejays and carolina wrens. The app also thinks everything is a black and white warbler if it can't recognise it even when the ID isn't hard to determine. The playback button is completely broken and serves no function. Still better than any other app I've tried so far, just needs a little more development and food for the AI.
