What is Song Sleuth Bird Song Analyzer? Description of Song Sleuth Bird Song Analyzer 3812 chars

Song Sleuth turns your iPhone or iPad into a bird song analysis powerhouse covering the 200 most common vocalizing land birds in North America. 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.

Not just for beginners, the app also has features for intermediate birders who might need an identification hint or wish to study the included example recordings to take their ear birding to the next level. Advanced birders who don’t need any identification help will appreciate the ability to make and keep recordings for further study.

PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING
Song Sleuth Auto-ID gets you started with suggested matches, but it is not perfect. Ultimately, it’s up to you to make the final identification. The app is intended to be an interactive and fun way to learn birding by ear. The more engaged you are in the process, the more we hope you will learn. Please read the following information on the app’s capabilities and limitations:
-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. The app can be confused by noise or background birds but tools are provided to trim and filter your recordings to improve the results.
- The app performs best outdoors with live birds, and not as well with pre-recorded sounds. 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.

SONG SLEUTH HELPS YOU IDENTIFY SINGING BIRDS
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. Tap the record button again when the song is complete and Song Sleuth immediately shows you three most likely species. 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.

SAVE, VIEW, LISTEN TO AND SHARE RECORDINGS
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. You can also trim the recording or filter the frequency range to remove extraneous sounds. Recordings can be shared with other Song Sleuth users via text messaging or email.

INCLUDES DAVID SIBLEY BIRD REFERENCE INFORMATION
The included David Sibley Bird Reference lets you learn more about each species. 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.

COMPLETE COLLECTION OF EXAMPLE RECORDINGS
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. You can listen to a all the vocalizations made by each species or compare spectrograms to your own recordings or examples from other species.

SEE YOUR RECORDING LOCATIONS
Recording locations can be viewed on a satellite or road map or transferred to a computer and viewed in Google Earth. (Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)

Song Sleuth Bird Song Analyzer Pros

✓ Think Big PictureAs a lot of other reviews have pointed out, the ID feature of this app is hit or miss. I’ve been using it for over a year now and have figured out how to isolate the songs I’m trying to record a little better. Even so, it’s accurate less than 50% of the time. However, this is still the best app I’ve found for recording birds. And has a lot of great features! - It records an a loop so that when you hit record, it includes the previous three seconds in your recording. This is huge! I’ve nailed so many more recordings that I never would have gotten without letting the recorder run for a minute or more waiting for the bird to song again. - It provides you a visualization of song to help remember it. - It geotags all your recordings - It organizes your recordings with file names including date/time and species name (if known). I know everyone is looking for a Shazam for bird songs. This is not it, but it allows you to make great recordings and keep them organized and sometimes it helps you identify the songs. That’s pretty good!.Timmyg2kxVersion: 2.2

✓ Can we pls organize our favsI like this app—it took only about 5 mins to figure out. I like being able to work with the recordings and isolate them and see them in comparison to others in the database. I love how beautifully the database is laid out, and I love browsing it. Can we please be able to save favorites to our own custom folder from the database so we don’t have to browse all of them all the time? Would stop me from having to use other apps. Would also be great if we can organize our own recordings into groups or folders..Reviewer Nickname 13Version: 2.2.9

Song Sleuth Bird Song Analyzer Cons

✗ No use for ukPlease make this clear in ur app info.Czchfry in nVersion: 2.2.9

✗ DisappointingI thought I had read good things about this app, but that has not been my experience. Sitting right under a chickadee making one of its two most identifiable calls, the app did not even give me chickadee as a choice. Similarly with a white crowned sparrow. Over a few weeks of trying to use it, I’m tired of repeatedly getting the choice of marsh wren or kestrel as two of the three options for a pretty wide variety of calls. In all that time I think I have successfully identified one bird reliably..Brillig737Version: 2.2.4
