Description

Using the Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro plug-in module, this app allows you to listen to record and automatically identify bats by their ultrasonic echolocation calls. The module and this companion app reveal the silent and often times invisible world of bats, providing outdoor enthusiasts, citizen scientists, and researchers an affordable and informative way to interact with these important creatures. There are two models: Echo Meter Touch 2 (EMT 2) is intended for nature enthusiasts and batting hobbyists and Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro is designed for bat professionals and features a higher quality microphone, adjustable gain, and higher sample rate.
The Echo Meter Touch Ultrasonic Module senses ultrasonic signals, digitizes the signal, and transmits the ultrasonic data to the app on your iOS device.
LISTEN TO BAT’S ECHOLOCATIONS
EMT2 translates bat echolocations into frequencies that are audible to humans using two technologies. Wildlife Acoustics’ patented Real Time Expansion (RTE) allows you to listen to bats in real time with unparalleled fidelity. RTE maintains the timing and tonality of the original echolocations. Heterodyne (HET) listening via manual and automatic tuning is also available, for those accustomed to that way of hearing bats.
VIEW THE ECHOLOCATIONS ON A SPECTROGRAM
A real-time spectrogram shows the frequencies and timing of the echolocations. Scroll back in time and zoom in on previous "bat passes."
SEE MOST LIKELY BAT SPECIES IN REAL-TIME***
The Auto ID feature analyzes the echolocation calls and suggests the two most likely bat species matches in real time. This is the same technology used in our professional Kaleidoscope Pro Bat Auto Identification software. Currently, the app can identify 26 species in North America, 25 in Europe and 57 in the neotropics. For more information on Kaleidoscope and a full list of species, visit our website.
RECORD .WAV FILES
Activate triggered recording mode to automatically save bat passes to full spectrum .wav files for analysis on a computer or to view on your iDevice. Or use manual record mode to control start and stop of recording. View the recording spectrogram and add voice or text notes. Listen to the recording using RTE, HET, or traditional Time Expansion Playback (playback at fractional speed to make the ultrasound audible).
SEE YOUR PATH AND RECORDING LOCATIONS
View in satellite or road map view. View identified species codes directly on the map. Go to the recording's spectrogram from the map view. Transfer to your computer to view in Google Earth. Your iDevice must have GPS capability or you must use a Bluetooth GPS receiver for this functionality.
*Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.*
TRANSFER RECORDINGS TO YOUR COMPUTER
The EMT 2 can transfer the .wav recordings to your computer over a Wi-Fi network or using a USB cable.
SHARE RECORDINGS VIA EMAIL OR MMS MESSAGING
And import and open files that have been shared with you.
***Because bats vary their echolocation calls in response to a wide variety of needs, no automated identification can achieve 100% accuracy in species identification. Auto-ID, though largely accurate, should not be relied on as a basis for scientific research. Auto-ID is intended for use in analyzing recordings of single bats in free flight in low clutter environments. Auto-ID will not work well on recordings of roost emergence, multiple or captive bats, bats in high clutter environments, or bat social calls. Auto-ID does not include every possible bat for each of the covered regions.

Echo Meter Touch Bat Detector Reviews

Gute App mit Optimierungspotenial

Pumuckel2007 on

Germany

Alles gut aber es wäre toll die Flattermänner auch deutschsprachig angezeigt zu bekommen Bzw. eine Funktion bei der man selbst die Bezeichnung der Fledermäuse zusätzlich hinterlegen kann

Nicht ohne Mängel

Luann2 on

Germany

Im Prinzip eine tolle Sache: Zusammen mit dem Echometer (touch) bekommt man einen ungefähren Überblick, welche Fledermäuse gerade herumfliegen. Aber: wenn es sich nicht gerade um die Zwerg- oder Mückenfledermaus handelt, bekommt man immer zwei Arten zur Auswahl und man muss dann selbst entscheiden, was man vor sich hat. So ganz genau weiß man’s dann eben doch nicht, allerdings fängt man automatisch an, sich intensiver mit Fledermäusen zu beschäftigen, um selbst herauszubekommen, um welche Art es sich jetzt tatsächlich handelt und das ist ja vielleicht auch der Sinn der Sache. Ein weiteres Minus ist, dass intensives Grillengezirp die Aufnahmen verfälscht: der Echometer detektiert dann immer den Riesenabendsegler, obwohl der bei uns allerhöchstens sporadisch auftreten soll… Trotzdem macht die Anwendung unglaublich viel Spaß und kann Fledermausliebhabern ganz klar empfohlen werden!

Eine echte Bereicherung!

Schon immer haben mich Fledermäuse interessiert. Man sie sie schemenhaft vorbei fliegen und weiß nicht welche Art sich dahinter verbirgt. Das APP mit der Hardware funktioniert super. Jetzt wird am Abend der Himmel abgescannt.

Super mit offenem Wunsch

Ich habe mir nun den Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro bestellt und freue mich an jedem Abend, an dem er zum Einsatz kommt. Die Software ist leicht zu verstehen. Ich bitte aber auch, die Auflösung zu erhöhen. Es werden eher dicke Pixelsignale dargestellt. Das wäre wunderbar.

super App und super Hardware

UnterTage on

Germany

* mit der passenden Hardware wunderbar * das macht echt Spaß! auch die Fledermauserkennung klappt gut. Das Nachlesen in Fachbüchern bestätigt die richtige Erkennung. Einzig eine Spezieserkennung mit der deutschen Bezeichnung hätte ich mir gewunschen. Aber die Anzeige der lateinischen Namen ist ausreichend und so ist man gezwungen, diese endlich mal zu lernen. * Bitte darauf achten, dass ein entsprechend leistungsfähiges Handy/Tablet verwendet wird! damit die Rechenoperationen nicht das Handy lahm legen. * bei Verwendung von festen Handycovern ist eventuell ein Adapter dazwischen zu verwenden, da der Anschluss sehr knapp ist * Die App ist perfect

Very good

miss only translation of bat species in german

Nice tool

musiker123 on

Germany

App and detector are working fine. There are just to things I would love to have: 1. a better resolution of the sonogram ( i use ipad) 2. a update for all german bats

Discontinued?

Ade_J on

United Kingdom

The in app link for the plug in module results in a 404 - as does the App Store link for the developers website

Not clear this requires expensive additional kit

broke&bonkers on

United Kingdom

It’s not made clear that a) you need expensive microphone to use and b) doesn’t actually work with iPhone anyway. Developers seem to assume prior knowledge of these facts as it’s not clear in the app information. Just state these requirements clearly before all the tedious technical minutiae as it’s frustrating to download only to discover it’s completely useless.

Not on iPhone

Jeanbach on

United Kingdom

No IOS therefore unusable for me.
