About

Eyes up, birds in. BirdScribe is a voice-first field companion for birders. Tap record, say what you see ("five rainbow lorikeets in the fig tree") and BirdScribe does the rest: transcribes your words, identifies the species, tags your GPS location, and builds a valid eBird checklist you can import in one step. No typing in the field. No staring at your phone while the bird flies off. HOW IT WORKS Tap Record and speak naturally. Multiple species in one breath is fine BirdScribe matches your words against bird taxonomy, tuned for accuracy You confirm every identification. Nothing is logged without your say-so End your session to review, merge duplicates, and export BUILT FOR REAL FIELD USE Observations save to your device the instant you stop talking Heard-only detection, counts, age, sex, breeding codes, all from your voice Voice notes for everything that isn't a bird ("call Mrs Farmer back") Session recovery if your phone dies mid-walk eBird CSV export, import-tested and format-exact YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. Your observations live on your device. Free, from the team at Kingfisher Birding in the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland. Built by birders who got tired of typing.

What's New in BirdScribe

3.1

September 7, 2026

What's new in 3.1 Auto-log: teach BirdScribe a phrase once and, if you choose, that exact phrase logs the bird without a tap next time. Switch it on or off from the card or from Learned names. Nothing is logged without your say so. Learned names redesigned: your names first, search on top, backup and sharing moved below the list. Complete checklist switch on the Session Summary, so an incidental or a partial walk goes to eBird as an incomplete list. Teach names for a region before you travel there. Your chosen region wins over GPS. Counts: ranges take the lower figure with a note, repeated numbers no longer double up, and number-word species such as Forty-spotted Pardalote are recognised correctly. Common mishearings corrected on screen (gulls, herring, reed, house), with your original words kept. Built-in traditional names, including British names, can be promoted to your own learned names. Optional anonymous sharing of your learned names to improve suggestions for birders in your region. Fixes to GPS start, session resume, sound bite capture, merge after a session has ended, and the eBird CSV.
