With Merlin do you need particularly clean loud audio? I've recorded a few sound clips with it: Whilst I can clearly hear at least 4 distinct bird calls in one clip (and recognise a couple), Merlin just doesn't ever recognise any birds at all. I've downloaded a sound pack. I've searched a few times but not found useful help nor even a clip of the app in operation (eg with tips for how to do captures). Any help appreciated, thanks. Is it better or worse than a human at recognition? Do you need 'perfect' birdsong samples or is there likely something buggy with my install? |

If you’re in a supported area I would suggest just trying it some more. I use it almost daily in the US; I don’t usually save recordings I just tap Sound ID and then cancel it after I get suggestions. It doesn’t always pick up far away birds when they are soft and there is competing noise, and it can get confused by some of the mocking/mimic birds, but it’s generally fantastic at hearing all kinds of sounds despite numerous imperfections and variance in quality.
