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 has incredibly good interface, I liked it, but after some time I've noticed that it doesn't analyse songs properly. It was able to identify couple of easiest species, but with a lot of different samples it yields same (wrong) results. It always suggests me some quite rare forest species, but I always record in the city and samples comes from common in-town species. Hope it will be fixed, because app itself is great, really approaching and user-friendly.

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.

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!!!!
