I hadn’t actually provided them with an email address yet, so I didn’t know they had a video. The app seems fairly intuitive so far.
Once you have a pack, you should see a button that says “sound id”. Double tap on that, and then double tap on the “microphone” button if you want to record a bird call to be identified. I have found that it may help to point the phone’s microphone toward where you are hearing the bird. Double tap stop when you are done. Then you can see what matches the app found. If you double tap on the “supported birds” button, there is a list of birds, which if you tap on one, you get a description and can play a sample of their call. I do see now that it isn’t letting me into the app without entering an email address, so I will see what email I get from them. For some reason, it hadn’t been forcing me to enter an email address until now. No big deal though.

I had Southeast United States, United States and Canada, and then all, going from left to right. VoiceOver should speak that it is a get button. You can track the progress and the page in the app will let you know your progress and when it is installed. I haven’t actually used the app yet. The Cornell Lab of Ornothology, who sponsors the app, has started sending me emails. One includes a video about how to use the app, but I assume it is oriented to the sighted. We’ll see ow helpful it is.

I heard about the Merlin Bird Id app and have been trying it out, and so far I am quite pleased with it. They have packs that you can download of birds in different geographical areas. So far, I have just downloaded the one for my area to try it out. It actually has identified some birds which other apps were not able to id. They had recently added the ability to identify birds from you recording the bird call you are hearing. They also list the common birds in your area, and if you choose one, you can hear a recorded bird call that someone has contributed to the app. So far, I am impressed, especially compared to some of the other apps I have tried. I just wanted to pass this along in case anyone is interested. Pam -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
