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.

Great app for identifying birds, but there is one really annoying bug preventing it from being 5 stars. When selecting a range of the spectrum to play back or analyze, the audio doesn't line up, it's shifted a second or two after the selection and gets worse the further it is to the left. It usually takes multiple tries to get an accurate selection. This wasn't a problem a few years ago, though it could be because I had a different phone (Moto X4). Would also love the app to be open source.

Love this app. Hear birds on regular basis that I can't see or ID by sound. I know basics which are a result of being able to see the birds while they sing. For elusives like warblers, this app easily picks up their song. The sensitivity is much better than I expected it would be. Within 10 minutes of finding this app I learned of a bird I've never seen but hear frequently. Two days later, same thing. And to double check the results I go to Merlin. Wish I found this app sooner!

BirdNET is addictively fun! (Even though it IDs my small parrot's sounds as a starling's.) It even IDs the rare, elusive American Crow! (haha). I love that I can even view the location where I heard the bird, and I learned about cool birds like the Bewick's Wren, who's active in early dawn. My one complaint: It's tricky to isolate short intervals with my fingers. And if I select a longer interval, the app often has trouble IDing the bird. Also, I'm not sure what the kWz signifies in this app. Pitch? Volume? You can "train" BirdNET by including your location, so it can narrow down the species most commonly found in your area.
