The best app for bird song identification: Top of the pile of bird song recognition apps - Bird Watching magazine, Sep 2015 Record a bird singing and use Automatic Recognition to help identify it. No internet or mobile connection is needed, all the analysis takes place on the device. And unlike other bird apps, our special Bird-Safe mode means that the app can be used in nature reserves without the risk of disturbing birds. The app works rather like Shazam does for music. When you hear a bird, quickly hold up your phone and start recording. The app analyses the sound, and shows you the top matches. You can compare your recording with the reference samples to check the identification. And if you don't have your phone with you, you can use your Apple Watch to record sounds for identification later. All your recordings are stored so you can listen to them again or share them with friends. You can help us improve the app by sending us the sound to use in training our system. The best recordings are posted (with your permission) on the Xeno-canto website, the world-wide resource for bird and bird sound research. Featured by Apple in 'Celebrate Springtime' 2016 "Excitedly playing with it in my garden - robins, blue & great tit so far :):)" "My new absolute favourite app - #Chirpomatic (It's basically Shazam for birds!!)" "It is really easy to use and intuitive, which is essential!" "I've already learnt the calls of 5 garden birds....such a great app." NB: NOT SUITABLE for iPhone 4 and 4S, and older models of iPad as these older devices are not powerful enough to cope with the analysis. On newer devices this app DOES work! But it is designed to identify real live birds under natural conditions. If you want to test on recorded sounds, you need to play the sounds at a realistic volume and only test on birds that might be found at your location at this time of year. ========= Our bird song apps ========= We have been making bird song apps since the App Store started in 2008, and now have a range of bird and bird song apps for iOS devices - iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad & Apple Watch. --------------- Chirp! --------------- Chirp! is our original and most popular bird song app. It has been in the top selling charts every day since it was launched over seven years ago. It has changed considerably in that time as it has grown in size and features. Chirp! is specifically designed for the identification and learning of birdsongs. However, it is also great if you just want to relax to the sounds of nature. ----------- ChirpOMatic ----------- ChirpOMatic, described above, is our automatic ( shazam-style ) bird song recognition app. Because we specialise in bird apps, we know the problems that can arise. Many nature reserves discourage the use of mobile devices as the playing of bird sounds disturbs the birds. But with ChirpOMatic you can switch bird-safe mode on, and use the app safely anywhere. In bird-safe mode you need to hold the device to your ear as though on the phone, in order to hear the sounds.
