ChirpOMatic Bird Song ID - USA - Spiny Software Ltd

ChirpOMatic Bird Song ID - USA
Spiny Software Ltd
Genre: Reference
Price: $4.99
Release Date: June 14, 2017

“Top of the pile of bird song recognition apps” - Bird Watching magazine
Featured by Apple in 'Celebrate Springtime’ and 'App of the Day'.

ChirpOMatic is an excellent way to identify bird sounds around you. Simply record a bird singing and use Automatic Recognition to identify it. The app can work wherever you are - if you don’t have internet or a mobile connection then the app analyses the sound on the device. And unlike other bird apps, our special Bird-Safe mode means that the app can be used without the risk of disturbing nesting birds.

Although the technology behind ChirpOMatic is complex, we have used our expertise in app development to make the app easy to use for everyone. You don't need to read a complicated manual, trim sound files, or understand sonograms to use ChirpOMatic. It works rather like Shazam® or SoundHound® do for music. When you hear a bird, quickly hold up your phone and record for 10 seconds. 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 on your phone 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.
