Self-hosted realtime soundscape analyser for birds, bats and other wildlife. Multi-model local AI inference, runs 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi. - tphakala/birdnet-go

Birdnet-go is a real-time sound analyzer that detects bird species. It can take in audio from microphones. I set mine up to stream audio from my security cameras that I already had installed. There’s even a Home Assistant App, if you’re using it.

I live in a more suburban/semi-urban environment, but was really surprised to so many different bird species.

    Specialized models can be made incredibly efficient. The big tech guys are trying to replace humans which is why their crap takes such huge servers to run. Building local-first/only just means you need to specialize the model and the pipeline to match what you’re doing

      Thanks.

      I understand now that this software does not use one of the big general AI providers but a specialised model (for birds esp.?) that runs locally; that I can get behind.

      Are there other keywords in software descriptions I can look for that help me make such distinctions?
