AudioMoth Analysis software matcher

AudioMoth & HydroMoth

Analysis software matcher

Recorded a card full of audio - now what? Filter by what you're listening for, how technical you want to get, and your budget, and we'll narrow down which of the 29 tools in this catalog fit. See how this list was put together below.

1 · What are you trying to identify?

Pick as many as apply - a hybrid deployment might mean Birds and Bats.

2 · How technical do you want to get?

3 · Budget

4 · Workflow

"Live" means a station that listens continuously and reports detections as they happen, rather than working through files already on an SD card.

How this list was put together

What's in scope

This covers software for analyzing recordings from AudioMoth, HydroMoth, and similar passive acoustic recorders - automatic species classifiers, general-purpose spectrogram viewers, marine/passive acoustic monitoring tools, and soundscape/acoustic-index toolkits. It leans toward tools that are actively maintained and have a public homepage or repository as of when this was written.

On "Free / freemium / paid"

Free means no-cost, generally open source. Freemium means there's a genuinely useful free tier or version alongside a paid upgrade. Paid means no meaningful free tier beyond a demo. Pricing and licensing change - always check the tool's own site before relying on this.

On "Batch" vs "Live"

Batch tools process recordings you already have (an SD card full of WAV files). Live tools run on hardware that listens continuously and reports detections as they happen - typically a Raspberry Pi rather than an AudioMoth or HydroMoth itself, since those are battery-powered SD card recorders rather than always-on stations.

Not an endorsement

Inclusion here isn't a recommendation of one tool over another - taxa coverage, accuracy, and fit vary a lot by region and target species.
