How can computers learn to recognize birds from sounds? The BirdNET research project uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to train computers to identify nearly 3,000 of the most common species of North America and Europe. You can record a file using the internal microphone of your iOS device and see if BirdNET correctly identifies the probable bird species present in your recording. Get to know the birds around you and help us to collect observations by submitting your recordings. BirdNET is a joint project of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Chemnitz University of Technology.

JaKomo teaches you Mexican Spanish the way it's actually spoken — not the generic textbook version. Most apps teach you Spanish. JaKomo teaches you how people really talk in Mexico: the warm way to order food, how to be polite in a market, when to use "usted" and when it's fine to relax, and what to say when you don't understand. WHAT MAKES JAKOMO DIFFERENT - Real Mexican register — learn "me regala" instead of stiff textbook phrases - Culture built into every lesson — know why a phrase works, not just what it means - Practice that sticks — spaced review brings back what you've learned - Learn out loud — build real phrases, not just multiple choice LESSONS FOR REAL SITUATIONS Order food like a local. Haggle at the market. Take a taxi. Greet people the right way. Handle the moments travelers actually face. LEARN WITH FRIENDS Add friends, join groups, and challenge each other to quick battles that make practice fun. Whether you're planning a trip to Mexico or want to connect more authentically with Mexican Spanish speakers, JaKomo gets you speaking naturally — fast. ¡Órale! Let's go.
