into nightly sessions (noon to noon) regardless of the number
of times recording is stopped and started. Each nightly
session exports in its own folder with its own KML file.
Using manual recording, the app automatically uses nightly
session mode for those recordings so as to avoid making a
folder for every recording.
The recording timer at the top of the screen starts at the
beginning of triggered recording session. Or at the beginning
of a manual recording. If a manual recording is made during a
triggered recording session, then after the manual recording
is over, the timer returns to the elapsed time for the triggered
session rather than restarting.
The top two bat’s scientific and common names appear in the
Auto-ID pop-up, which is shown for 10 seconds after
identification. This is not intended to ID two species of bats
that might appear simultaneously in a recording, though it
might in some circumstances. It is intended to give more
information in order to help you make the best ID possible
and also to allow you to see common confusions so you can
learn the ID’s limitations. You can select the runner-up species
on the Auto-ID pop-up to immediately tag the recording with
that bat instead of the front-runner. Click on the “i" icon to
learn more about that species. If you know that both species
are incorrect, select “CHOOSE ID FROM LIST” to label the
recording with any other selected species of bat. The Auto-ID
pop-up also shows the ratio of echolocation calls of the top
bat to the total detected calls. This helps give a sense of
confidence in the identification.
You can also run ID on one or all recordings from the
recording list or while viewing spectrograms from the icon in
the recording label. Each recording takes a second or two to
identify. If Real Time ID is set on, the app will not be able to
trigger for a couple seconds following a recording while ID
takes place. The species code or No_ID is assigned as a prefix
