"Top of the pile of bird song recognition apps" - Bird Watching magazine
The only birdsong app that can safely be used on nature reserves!
Featured by Apple in "Celebrate Springtime" and "App of the Day".

Heard a bird and want to know what it is? Just tap the red button to make a recording and ChirpOMatic will do the rest. The app will check your recording against a library of birds from any European country and provide you with a match, along with a photo of the bird, and a clear cut description of the sound. If you don't have your phone with you, you can use your Apple Watch to record sounds for identification later.

Your recordings are stored along with the date, time and location. They can be shared using AirDrop, WhatsApp, Messages, or Email.

Why is ChirpOMatic the best birdsong app for you?
•No subscription and no need to register. This highly accurate app is yours for little more than the cost of a high-street coffee.
•Frequently updated, so you can be sure that the app will always run on the latest operating system.
•First-class customer support. We reply to emails within 48 hours.
•We respect your privacy. We do not collect recordings, or any of your personal data, from the app.

Why is ChirpOMatic the best birdsong app for birds?
•Recordings of bird songs disturb nesting birds, distracting them from the essential tasks of defending their territory and feeding their young. ChirpOMatic is the only bird sound app that is safe to use anywhere, at any time, because it's the only app with 'Bird-safe Mode'. When this is switched on, you have to hold the phone to your ear as though making a phone call in order to hear the sounds. This ensures that birds are not disturbed.
•ChirpOMatic is the only bird app that changes to ‘dark mode’ at night. This prevents light from a bright screen disturbing birds.

Not suitable for iPhone 6 or earlier. Contact us if you are in doubt.

PLEASE NOTE! This version of the app is for Europe. For North American birds please search for ChirpOMatic USA.

Warblr: Identify UK bird songs
Warblr
Genre: Reference
Price: £4.99
Release Date: August 12, 2015

Warblr is an app that automatically recognises birds by their song. The way in which it works is simple – make a recording with your iPhone, and Warblr will identify the species of bird/s that can be found in that recording, providing you with images and descriptions to help you learn more about our feathered friends.

In using Warblr, you will be contributing to a citizen science project, and hopefully one day helping to protect endangered species. We will be making the recordings and the data collected on species identification freely available to be used for research and conservation.

Warblr can recognise over 220 species of British bird, and works particularly well for garden and woodland species. Our technology uses the latest techniques in machine learning, and is supported by Queen Mary University of London.

**Please note – if you’re having any issues using Warblr please just drop us a line to hello@warblr.net**

Bird Song Id UK - Mullen & Pohland GbR

Bird Song Id UK
Mullen & Pohland GbR
Genre: Reference
Price: £2.99
Release Date: February 15, 2013

The original and the best, accept no cheap imitations !
Record a bird singing and use Automatic Recognition to help identify it. Unlike all other apps, no internet or mobile connection is needed.

• The Times Newspaper said the app "Does what it says on the

tin" and were amazed that "this astonishing piece of software
costs about the same as a cup of coffee".

• "In direct comparison Bird Song Id showed better results than Chirpomatic". - naturschutz.ch - Swiss Birding Magazine

Copied by a few, bettered by none, Bird Song Id is three years
ahead of anyone else in this field !

• The Telegraph Newspaper said "Bird Song Id is a good walk improved, and may even put a spring in your step".

• over 1000 good ratings

Automatic Recognition takes place on the device, no connection to the internet or mobile network is needed.

Automatic Recognition needs good quality recordings to work. See the HELP below, or follow the Developer Website link to find out how to improve your recordings.

Automatic Recognition will help identify a good cross section of bird song in the British Isles, but you will need a good quality recording. Lots of blue and green peaks reaching to the top of the analysis graph is a good indication of a quality recording. Help and examples are included in the app to guide you.

How successful is it ? Our aim is to get the correct bird in the top three of those listed. In our testing of over 1,000 samples we found the success rate to be 85%.

Follow the Developer Website link to see a demo of Automatic Recognition on YouTube

--------------- HELP ----------------

Automatic Recognition needs a good quality recording of the bird.
-------------
Only record when a single bird is singing, or when a single bird is dominant
-------------
The analysis graph should have plenty of blue and green colors with few or no black peaks.
-------------
The peaks on the graph should reach all the way to the top. Low peaks indicate poor quality and recognition is unlikely.
-------------
The Audio Quality, shown at the top of the results screen, should be at least Good, and preferably Very Good or Excellent
-------------
The highest score should be above 70% to be useful. Below this and the system is telling you it is not sure what the song is.
-------------
A difference between two birds of less than 10% is not that significant, so listen to the samples from both to help you further
-------------
See the samples for how the analysis graph should look (to see the samples press the sample button at the top right of the help page)
-------------
Make sure it is very quiet apart from the bird song which should be nice and loud
-------------
Be as close to the bird as you can be without disturbing it
-------------
Be patient, dont expect miracles, the system works but needs good clear recordings
-------------
The microphone is at the bottom of an iPhone, point the bottom of the phone towards the bird
-------------
Remove the case from your iPhone if you use one as this can dampen the microphone
-------------
Record a single bird at a time
-------------
Capture at least two singing episodes if you can.
-------------
Record for the full 30 seconds
-------------
Avoid windy conditions. Air moving over the microphone will mask the bird sounds
-------------
Make sure there is plenty of life in the battery. Your device will reduce power going to the microphone as the battery runs down
-------------
Playing songs to the app from recorded material on the internet, other apps or CDs is unlikely to work as this material is digitally processed and edited (inter phase gaps are often shortened). They sound very different to recording birds for real on an iPhone or iPad in the natural environment. Its a bit like putting rocket fuel in a lawn mower.
