Bioacoustic Resources
If you are looking for resources for understanding and analyzing your passive acoustic data, you have come to the right place! Scroll below to find links to existing resources and repositories, and example analysis files and datasets
Open-Access Acoustic Tools
Developed by Ocean Science Analytics to make passive acoustic monitoring easier, from prepping recordings to detecting calls. Free to download or use online.
EZ-AudioMate
A point-and-click Python app for batch audio prep. It resamples whole folders of recordings and converts between WAV and FLAC in a few clicks. Download from GitHub or check out ourĀ no-code stand-alone version!
SpectraReel
A Shiny app that turns audio files into customizable MP4 spectrogram videos with a scrolling playhead, ideal for sharing sounds. Either download from GitHubĀ or access our dashboard version for smaller files below.
Size EstimatR
A web app that estimates how much data storage your audio recordings will need. It compares capacity for continuous versus duty-cycled recording so you can plan deployments.
WhistleGen
An interactive R Shiny app for creating artificial dolphin whistles. It simulates, visualizes, and exports synthetic contours and audio for research and teaching. Either download from GitHub or access via the dashboard.
Scikit-Maad GUIĀ
Our GUI spin on the open-source scikit-maad package. It includes all of scikit-maad's acoustic index features and adds easy point-and-click settings for batch-processingĀ audio recordings.
Accessible Deep Learning for Acoustics
Our flagship deep-learning tool DeepAcoustics for bioacoustic data. Its GUI-based framework makes network training, testing, and deployment accessible, so researchers can detect and classify calls in large marine and terrestrial datasets without coding. The current version runs in MATLAB, with a Python version planned.
