What's New in BirdScribe
3.8
October 21, 2026
BirdScribe 3.8 brings a new way to capture birds in the field. The capture dock One big mic for a bird. Tap, say what you saw, tap again for the next one. Trip note, Incidental and Your Call are now one tap away, right above the mic. Slide the dock down to a slim bar when you want more of your list on screen. Speak or type Switch between speaking and typing with one tap. BirdScribe remembers your choice. Typing works the eBird way: count first, then the name. Type “3 mistl” and Mistletoebird x3 is at the top of the list. Tick or Return takes it. Suggestions drop down as you type, local birds first. See your trip your way Expanded shows each bird as a full card. Compact shows your whole trip as one tidy list. Each mode remembers the view you like. Notes Trip notes and bird notes now share one simple note sheet. Cues that follow you Earphones in, cues go to your earphones automatically. No earphones, choose Sound or Vibrate. The silent switch is followed as you go. Forgot to log one? Add a bird you missed and set the time you saw it. Smaller things Nothing in BirdScribe reacts to shaking or moving your phone, so a bird can’t be undone by accident in your pocket. No end-of-trip prompt to send your notes. A shorter header gives more room to your list. Eyes up, birds in.
