## Introduction
The BirdNET-Pi project is built on the [TFLite version of BirdNET](https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET-Lite) by [**@kahst**](https://github.com/kahst) 
using [pre-built TFLite binaries](https://github.com/PINTO0309/TensorflowLite-bin) by [**@PINTO0309**](https://github.com/PINTO0309) . It is able to recognize bird sounds from a USB sound card in realtime.

## Troubleshooting and Ideas
If you encounter any issues at any point, or have questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or want to share something, please take a look through the [open and closed issues](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/issues?q=is%3A+issue) and [the community discussions](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/discussions). PLEASE feel invited to [open a new issue](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/issues/new/choose) if you don't find the help you need. Likewise, please accept my invitation to [start a new discussion](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/discussions/new) to get a conversation started around your topic.
If you are not a GitHub user and need help, you can [email me](mailto:mcguirepr89@gmail.com), but I hope you will consider making a GitHub account so that your questions can be answered here for others as well. I expect this project will attract more bird-enthusiasts than Linux-enthusiasts, so please don't feel like any question is too _novice_ or, pardon the phrase, _stupid_ to ask. I want to help!
## Sharing
Please join a Discussion!! and please join [https://app.birdweather.com BirdWeather!!]
I hope that if you find BirdNET-Pi has been worth your time, you will share your setup, results, customizations, etc. [HERE](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/discussions/69) and will consider [making your installation public](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/wiki/Sharing-Your-BirdNET-Pi).
## ToDo, Notes, and Coming Soon
### Internationalization:
The bird names are in English by default, but other localized versions are available. Please download the labels_l18n.zip file and replace the `model/labels.txt` with the corresponding language.
### Realtime Analysis Predictions View
The pre-built TFLite binaries for this project also support [the BirdNET-Demo](https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET-Demo), which I am currently testing for integration into the BirdNET-Pi. If you know anything about JavaScript and are willing to help, please let me know in the [Live Analysis discussion](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/discussions/24).
### Tips:
For some reason, the system seems to run more efficiently and the birds sound better when you [](https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/stargazers) the project :)
