Whether you’re conducting species inventory, presence/absence surveys, endangered species detection, or habitat health monitoring, Kaleidoscope Pro significantly minimises the time it takes to find what you’re looking for.
This software allows you to set parameters on target frequencies and pulse lengths so that you can get to the useful parts of the recording quickly. GPS information can be extracted (where an appropriate unit with GPS capabilities has been used). The data includes date, time, latitude, longitude, and audio file name data for each trigger. Waypoints at user-defined intervals can also be extracted.
Kaleidoscope Pro also includes a package of classifiers for the UK, Europe, U.S., Neotropic, and South African bat species. Once the files have been processed the results include a margin of confidence and a p-value signifying the maximum likelihood estimator for each classified call. Kaleidoscope viewer allows you to view, analyse and customise spectrograms.
