Updated Version of Twigle With Bird Image Recognition Now Available on the App Store
Avelgood Apps has updated Twigle on the App Store with a new version that includes a bird image recognition feature which allows birders to simply take a photo of a bird and have Twigle identify the bird.
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, October 26, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Twigle uses deep-learning technology to help birdwatchers to quickly and easily identify birds as it removes some of the drudgery involved in the identification process. The app recognises 540 species of birds from North America, 350 species from Southern Africa and 310 species from the UK & Ireland with an accuracy of 60%.
With this update Twigle sets several records. It is the first app in the world to have both image and audio recognition for birds. First app that performs image recognition for birds of Southern Africa and also for British birds. Twigle also identities more bird species of North America than any other app on the market.
"Twigle is the app of the future of birding," says Gift Gana, the developer of the Twigle. "It is helping bridge the divide between nature and tech by allowing this tech savvy generation to use technology to engage with birds around them and with nature."
Twigle with bird image recognition and birds of Southern Africa has been available on Windows Store for about 2 months now. An Android version of the app is going to be published in November 2015.
The app includes other traditional birding app features by providing detailed species descriptions, a bird journal, HD photos and recordings of birdsongs that can be played back from the on-device database. Birders can also use Twigle to help them identify birds by manually entering the physical characteristics of the bird that they are seeing, like its size and colour and the app will find the closest match.
