About Song Sleuth Bird Song Analyzer

1. The more engaged you are in the process, the more we hope you will learn. -The app does not identify simple calls, chips and scolds, only bird songs and more distinct calls that are characteristic of that species. -The app does not recognize birds that are mimicking other birds such as the Thrashers and Mockingbird. -It is ideal to get a recording of a single bird singing.

2. Developed by Wildlife Acoustics, in collaboration with world-renowned bird expert and illustrator David Sibley, the app records bird songs, allows you to compare your songs to known species, has a reference to research and learn bird song, and even suggests matching species.

3. Also, Song Sleuth automatically selects the birds that are likely to be in your area at the present time of year, so you need to be sure the birds you are playing are selected in the SPECIES LIST.

4. Well-known nature recordist Lang Elliot and friends spent countless hours recording in the field to provide over 1,000 world-class recording examples of the included bird species.

5. To assist you in determining the correct bird, you can listen to your recording and the example recordings of the likely matches as well as compare their spectrograms side-by-side.

6. The reference includes Sibley illustrations of each bird, a description of each bird and its songs, zoomable range maps and a bar chart showing the likelihood of each bird’s presence in your area throughout the year, using Sibley’s extensive database of bird presence.

7. Song Sleuth turns your Android device into a bird song analysis powerhouse covering the 200 most common vocalizing land birds in North America.

8. The included David Sibley Bird Reference lets you learn more about each species.

9. Simply press the record button when you hear a bird singing and the app begins recording a few seconds back in time using the built-in microphone.

10. Recordings are saved in the RECORDING LIST where you can view the recording’s spectrogram, listen to the recording (and speed it up or slow down), add a text note, or view the GPS location.

11. Tap the record button again when the song is complete and Song Sleuth immediately shows you three most likely species.

Song Sleuth Bird Song Analyzer Customer Insights

1. For instance, it says bald eagles are scarce here, but we see them at least a couple of times per week without being outside all the time.Disappointed. UI looks great and its easy to learn, but it mis-ID'd a very easy bird (downy woodpecker) despite the bird being right in front of me.

2. I spent two hours getting loud, clear recordings of birds right in front of me that I could identify, and the app never even came close to getting a correct ID.

3. Only once has it been correct for me.love this app for on the spot bird ID! would be awesome if we could log into our accounts online to access our own recordings.

4. The good is you are able to record and store your own recordings after you figure out from some other source the ID of the bird.

5. Every time I agree to move the files, I end up with reference files in my recording list and have to delete them out.It used to be really cool, but lately it won't work at all.

6. It works and its fun! I have used this app to identify birds in my area, play their songs back to them, and to learn about new birds.

7. It's unfortunate, since this is potentially an interesting and useful app if the bugs could be worked out.Love the recordings and pictures.

8. Overall its a great app!When you make a recording it's saved on a list, and when you ID a bird you can check it off.

9. My first time using the app (there was no sign-in or account creation) and those screens seems to be populated with someone else's data.

10. I have recorded songs that even I can identify, ones ten feet away from the bird with no background noise.

11. It also came pre-loaded with someone else's sightings are recordings but there's no 'login' option.
