About Bird Song Id: USA Automatic

Identify birds of the eastern states by their songs and calls with Bird Song Id.

Includes Automatic Recognition to help identify bird song. We have now included the West coast as well, so the app works for the entire USA!

Make your own bird song recordings and keep a bird song diary.

Bird Song Id is the most functional Bird Song app on the market by far.

Have you ever heard a bird singing and wondered "What kind of bird is that?". Bird Song Id is a great tool to help you learn to quickly and easily identify birds by their songs and calls. Its great fun to use too. With Bird Song Id, identification can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Bird Song Id has been created by professional published ecologists. The app does not need an internet connection, all songs and calls are downloaded when the app is purchased, over two hundred species are included.

We have included an early version of Automatic Recognition in the app for you to try. We hope this feature will help you identify common bird species. However, it needs a good quality recording to work, and takes a bit of time and patience to get used to. Automatic Recognition takes place on the device, no connection to the internet or mobile network is needed.

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 of Bird Song Id to be 85%.

Remember this is an early release of this innovative feature, so please be gentle. A demo is available on YouTube.

--------------- HELP ----------------
Automatic Recognition needs a good quality recording of the bird
-------------
Remove the case from your device if you use one as this will significantly dampen the microphone
-------------
Only record when it is very quiet, apart from the bird singing of course
-------------
Be close to the bird singing, as close as you can be without disturbing it
-------------
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
-------------
Be patient, dont expect miracles, the system works but needs good clear recordings
-------------
The peaks on the Bird Song Id graph should reach all the way to the top. Low peaks indicate poor quality and recognition is unlikely
-------------
The highest score should be above 80% 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
-------------
Find the microphone on your device, point it towards the bird
-------------
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 when using Bird Song Id. 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
-------------
Some devices such as large tablets have poor microphones and an external mic may be needed to get good quality recordings
-------------
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.

What are users saying about Bird Song Id: USA Automatic

U70%
by U####:

Good app, but doesn't include all bird songs into the recognition database.

V70%
by V####:

Pretty good. Recordings need to have little noise.

X70%
by X####:

This app works well enough (not always perfectly) to ID birds from song or at least give a fairly good narrowed down list of possible birds. A good cross reference source that could become a primary source wroth a little more love and work.

E70%
by E####:

Great concept but not enough bird songs in the database yet to make positive song ID. I'll let my purchase go through, hope the app improves over time. :-)

A70%
by A####:

While it doesn't get the bird right almost all the time it does give me a good list to listen to and choose from

T70%
by T####:

It is a good concept, but the limited size of the database (both number of birds and number of songs for each bird) make it of limited usefulness.

X70%
by X####:

This app has changed the way I birdwatch. Easy to use!!!

T70%
by T####:

Great app! Just keeps getting better as they add to and fine tune their database! It's easier to "bird hear" than to "bird watch"!

Automatic recognition didn't work

Đơn giản mà nói, ứng dụng này thực sự là nguồn tổng hợp có giá trị cao. Nhưng cái chính mà tôi muốn nói ở đây là: Không chỉ bó buộc với ứng dụng này (ngoài tiếng chim hót). Nó còn giúp tôi hình thành khả năng nhận diện âm thanh, Từ đó tôi có thẻ áp dụng vào cuộc sống của mình 1 cách khá tốt. Cảm ơn nhà phát triển, tôi rất thích ứng dụng này! Chắc chắn rằng nó sẽ còn phát triển hơn nữa trong tương lai tới.

T70%
by T####:

VERY large repository of various bird songs, I find it to be an indespensable tool now, and could never go back to not using it. Though the ui might seem a tad sparse, that makes it exceptionally easy to navigate. they don't fluff it up with unecessary functions. recommended

M70%
by M####:

I downloaded this app because I thought it would be helpful in identifying birds while out in the field. I tested the app with calls played on my pc. The room was quiet, the volume moderate, and the calls were mostly singular birds from the Cornell Lab of Orinthology. Most results gave me less than stellar results. I received a 61% match on a Black-capped Chickadee. The app placed a Vireo as a closer match. I think the app needs some improvement, but it did narrow down my choices for id.

F70%
by F####:

The app requested me to rate it after just a few days usage. There seemed to be no option other than rated or no thanks. So far, I have had trouble with search feature and automatic identification feature. No demo was available, therefore, I might rate this up higher after some time passes. But for $5, at this point I'm not overly pleased

R70%
by R####:

Is there a manual? What are the scores for? Is it game? Why are the birds arranged in no particular order? What is the floating circle with three dots? It does Nothing. I want my money back.

W70%
by W####:

This app helped me discover the variety of birds visiting my backyard & nearby yards, especially when I only hear them. The recording option is most helpful in identifying the bird. Love this app!!

W70%
by W####:

This AM is wonderful and is such a great way to hear the special sounds of all of my bird buddies

T70%
by T####:

This is a great program for helping to identify birds.

T70%
by T####:

The recognition seems good if able to get good recording. But that is not often due to multiple birds calling and being close enough. My biggest disappointment is the data base too small. I have already found 5 common nj birds that I see regular that are not in data base. Yet they have a parrot? For example mallards and green heron. Both of which I got a good recording of when I was testing app with were not in base. To the app author. Please improve data base.

D70%
by D####:

I downloaded this app in the hopes of identifying birds I could hear but not see without binoculars. This app is very unreliable at recognizing songs unless you are very close to the bird in question, in which case you can just download the Merlin Bird ID app for free and get much better recommendations with better pictures, sounds, and info on the birds. Not worth $5.

T70%
by T####:

Not worth the price at this point. Every time I have tried to use the auto recognition it comes back with the same possibilities no matter what birds I am trying to identify. I also have Merlin and all-in-all they are about equal but one of these apps was free.

T70%
by T####:

The app does not work properly on Motorola Moto G (currently running Android 4.4.4.) I select the Automatic ID but it doesn't work; nothing happens, I just get a blue screen. Also, when I run the app, the options button (if that's what it is: 3 close dots in a vertical row which appear at the bottom) does not work. I click on it and it makes a weird sound.

You do have to be careful and not scare the birds while you record sounds from them. Could be helpful when in the zoo, but perhaps the price is a little too high?

Missing some, but ok. Nice compliment to other guides.

A70%
by A####:

I often go into the forest or park and many times i wondered what's this bird's name or that bird's name when i hear their song. But from now on, with this app, i will never wonder when i hear their songs with just tapping on the screen and let's this app hear and recognize what kind of birds they are. The success of this app is also very high and the user-interface is perfect and really easy to use. 5 stars for this app, won't waste my money.

S70%
by S####:

Well, it’s a nice app, but the price seems to be a little high for nowadays standards ($5.5 is A LOT since most of the apps cost like a dollar or two). However, the app is awesome and works as it should, it identifies birds very well, good job here!

R70%

This is an interesting application. I really enjoy this app. with this app, i will never wonder when i hear their songs with just tapping on the screen and let's this app hear and recognize what kind of birds they are. It works on my phone very smooth

It is okay. It can detect birds by their sounds, but sometimes it cannot pick them up when they are far away. That is not the apps fault, but a limitation for using it. Overall great app. It is good for learning about birds eating in your backyard since you can get closer to them.

K70%
by K####:

I really enjoy this app. I have been waiting for an app to come out like this for so many years. Bird Song ID is the definitely the most functional Bird Song app on the market so far. It has not failed me once. The interface is very easy to use and the app never crashes. The success rate is really high. I love to go outside and use this app when I have free time. This app is one of the best apps on Google play. I love the pictures in the app as well. I am giving this a five star review.

W70%
by W####:

I play with this app a lot to learn about the birds in my area. My daughter loves hearing the different sounds. They are clear and beautiful sounds. The app runs great, doesn't slow anything down by using it a lot. The pictures are beautiful. We play it all the time for her and she loves trying to mimic the birds sounds. This is definitely a great app worth downloading and testing out. I hope they add other regions soon!

I totally love this app! With this app I can identify birds through their voice/songs. The big advantage is it works offline! From now I don't have to ask the question "What kind of bird is that"? :-)

Now I can finally look up what birds chirp outside my window in the morning. The fact that it doesn't need internet give this app a huge advantage when you're far from civilization with no cellphone coverage and want to know which bird is chirping.

V70%
by V####:

The quality of the bird sounds is outstanding you can hear it clearly and the offline feature is pretty great.

B70%
by B####:

Thanks to this application that I may know the names of all the birds singing through it. It is interesting to discover, even without an internet connection. A good application.

K70%
by K####:

I use this app on 2 purposes. First now I know which bird is singing because when I hear it, I can find it with an app and read even some basic information about birds. And I also use it for relaxing... Sometimes its nice to hear some natural sounds in the office so I can turn on the app and listen to them :)

K70%
by K####:

Very unique app with tons of useful information. There just about every possible bird in the app and each bird has a in depth detail about them.

K70%
by K####:

Jde o velice zajímavou aplikaci díky které můžete zjistit co za ptáka slyšíte v okolí. Jde si zvuky přehrávat a porovnávat tak se zvukem v aplikaci. Můžete si zvuky ale pouštět i jen tak pro zábavu a zajímavost. U každého druhu je i obrázek a malé info o daném druhu ptáčka. Za mě bych jen uvítal více zvuků papoušků ale to je věc která se dá vyřešit v dalších aktualizacích této zajímavé aplikace.
