Bioacoustic backlog? Let us help!

Ecology

Site Survey

Spring is just around the corner, and with it, a new survey season. But wait, what about all that bioacoustic data from last year (or even the year before)? If you’ve got a backlog of unprocessed audio files sitting on your hard drive, now’s the perfect time to tackle it—and Wilder Sensing is here to help.

We have recently had numerous people reach out to ask if we can process old accumulated audio files, and the answer is yes! We are working with Ecologists, Conservationists, Researchers, and more to extract valuable insights from their existing bird recordings. We recognise that sorting through endless hours of audio manually is tedious and often takes up valuable time that you just don’t have. We can swiftly analyse your recordings and present the results in a number of digestible graphs (check out the examples in Figures 1, 2, and 3 below from our RSPB Arne dataset, as featured on Springwatch 2024). You can also easily download your data as a CSV file to run your own analytics. 

Concerned about using AI in-place of traditional methods? Our platform provides a confidence rating for each call, helping you identify calls that may require validation. We make it easy for you to download a tagged file so you can quickly filter through species-level calls to validate your data. This can be particularly important for under-reported, rare, cryptic, and red-listed species. 

Every dataset is unique, so we offer bespoke pricing based on the combined size of your audio files. Get in touch today and turn your old recordings into actionable insights—just in time for the new survey season!

The total number of records recorded over the 6-week period by 6 recorders is shown in the centre. These 230,000+ species-level records are at an 85% detection confidence rating.
