Visualise Nature’s Sounds on iNaturalist
This extension adds a dynamic spectrogram visualisation beneath audio recordings on iNaturalist.org observation pages. Whether you're identifying frog calls, bat echolocation, bird songs, or other natural sounds, this tool lets you see what you’re hearing.
🎧 Why use it?
Many wildlife sounds are easier to interpret with visual context—especially in noisy environments or when calls are hard to distinguish by ear. This spectrogram helps researchers, identifiers, and curious naturalists analyse recordings at a glance.
🔬 How it works
The extension uses the Web Audio API to render a real-time spectrogram whenever you play an audio file on an iNaturalist observation. It loads automatically and blends seamlessly with the existing page.
🦇 Optimised for frog and bat calls
🟢 Minimalist, fast-loading interface
📡 No external data collection or tracking
Perfect for:
- Identifiers working on frog, bat, bird, or insect observations
- Field researchers and citizen scientists
- Anyone curious about the shape of natural sounds
