No - It's just for fun. You just play against your mates.

There's a leaderboard showing who's "Won the most".

Of course if you wanted to all stick a fiver in, winner takes all? :shrug:

Like Shazam, but for bird songs, running in the browser. Run it in Safari on IOS or Chrome on Android. It's very early days: I have just exposed the model to a website really. Lots of field testing and no doubt refinement (or complete reworking :)) to do now.

How it works:

Little website built with Next js. When you click the button, I open a websocket and stream the audio to a google cloud bucket via the web server.

Then I kick off google cloud function to run the audio through a pre trained Tensorflow model to get bird predictions.

Cloud function returns the result to the server, which then hands it on to the browser.

The Tensorflow model is a CNN I trained on songs from 36 species of birds found around where I live.
