BirdNET Live

BirdNET Live is a mobile application that allows users to watch a live scrolling spectrogram, view species detections in real time, and manage their library of animal sounds all from their phone. This app is designed to support bioacoustic research and structured acoustic surveys, making it a valuable tool for both researchers and citizen scientists. It offers multiple workflows, including Live Mode, Point Counts, Surveys, File Analysis, Batch Analysis, and ARU Mode, to cater to different research needs.

The Live Mode feature provides real-time species detections with a live spectrogram, allowing users to monitor and record animal sounds as they happen. Point Counts is a structured timed session that also offers live detections, while Surveys allow for longer transects to be recorded while tracking detections along the route. File Analysis allows users to analyze audio files from their local storage, while Batch Analysis enables them to process multiple audio files in bulk. The ARU Mode feature allows for longer acoustic recording deployments to be scheduled.

BirdNET Live is a collaboration between the Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics and Chemnitz University of Technology, in partnership with the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. It is supported by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, making it a reliable and trustworthy app for bioacoustic research.

This app is designed to be user-friendly and offers extensive configuration and detection review options. It is a valuable tool for researchers and citizen scientists alike, providing them with the ability to monitor and record animal sounds in real time, as well as analyze and manage their library of recordings. For more information on how to use the app, users can consult the online user guide provided by the BirdNET Live team. With its various features and partnerships, BirdNET Live is a comprehensive and innovative app that is sure to enhance bioacoustic research and surveys.
