Problem
Ecological consultants and researchers must manually review thousands of ultrasonic bat recordings to identify species and behavior, a time‑consuming process prone to errors and limited by the need for specialist expertise.
Solution
BioSonic offers a cloud‑based AI platform that automatically classifies bat species and separates feeding versus social calls directly from uploaded WAV files. The system converts recordings into spectrogram images and applies deep neural networks trained on millions of calls, delivering species‑level results with 98.9% F1 accuracy. Users receive confidence‑filtered classifications, behavior insights, and interactive spectrograms for manual verification within a web browser. Integrated mapping tools visualize feeding hotspots and roost locations, supporting habitat protection and impact‑assessment workflows. The platform supports recordings from all major bat detector manufacturers and extracts metadata such as date, time, and GPS coordinates when available.
Target Audience
Primary customers are ecological consulting firms, government environmental agencies, and academic or conservation research groups that conduct bat acoustic surveys for impact assessments, infrastructure planning, and biodiversity monitoring.
