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, 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.
Tips:
You can try to overclock your Pi by placing the following in your /boot/config.txt file:
over_voltage=6
arm_freq=1750
Be sure the Pi is adequately cooled and powered.
