BirdNET Live is a bioacoustic monitoring application designed for identifying bird species through real-time audio analysis. It uses the BirdNET+ machine learning model to recognize 9,789 species directly on supported devices without requiring internet access. Researchers can observe live spectrograms, conduct timed point counts, and perform extended surveys with GPS tracking. The application also analyzes existing audio recordings and supports multi-day monitoring through its acoustic recording unit mode. Its location-aware exploration tools help users discover bird species expected in their surroundings. Recorded sessions can be reviewed, edited, and exported for further scientific analysis. BirdNET Live supports compressed FLAC recording and multiple research-oriented export formats. Built with Flutter, it targets Android, iOS, and Windows.
