Formal Release of 'KoeTurri®': Visualizing Ecosystems through AI-Powered Animal Sound Identification

Hylable Inc. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takeshi Mizumoto) has officially released 'KoeTurri®', a cloud service that measures animal voices using acoustic technology.

This service allows users to measure the 'calls' of animals that are otherwise invisible by installing a dedicated microphone (an egg-shaped, waterproof 8-channel microphone array) outdoors. Using Hylable's proprietary sound identification AI, it automatically outputs the species and the direction of the sound. The service supports 141 species, primarily birds, but also includes frogs (amphibians), insects, and mammals.

KoeTurri manages the entire process from recording to identification, providing audio files, text-based label data, and automatically generated PowerPoint reports. Unmanned 24/7, 365-day monitoring can be achieved with a single recorder. It provides companies and local governments with a means to monitor the nature they own—such as urban parks, Nature Symbiosis Sites, corporate forests, and biotopes—and to communicate that richness to the public.

Background: Continuous Biological Data Acquisition through Sound Biodiversity conservation is a global challenge, and understanding 'what species live there' through monitoring is essential. Until now, observations by experts were the norm, but high-frequency surveys were difficult. KoeTurri solves this by observing sound 24/7, unattended. It allows for measurement even at night or when animals are hidden.

Key Features of KoeTurri® - Automatic Identification of 141 species via AI (129 birds, 4 frogs, 5 insects, 3 mammals). - 24-hour automated recording via dedicated microphone. - Automated generation of PowerPoint (pptx) reports. - Data provision (text-based label data and FLAC audio files). - Proven long-term stability (over two years of continuous operation, 90%+ availability). - Usable not just for measurement, but as engaging visual content.
