BatSound Touch

Product Description
$149.00
Maximum quantity available reached.

BatSound® Touch is a sound recording and analysis software which provides high-resolution real-time spectrograms and is very easy to use with touch screen Windows tablet PCs. It has resizable text and buttons to facilitate operation on devices with virtually any screen size.

BatSound Touch is compatible with the popular M500 or M500-384 USB microphone. A Windows tablet PC with BatSound Touch and the M500 makes an easy to use and powerful bat detector with real-time audio as well as real-time spectrogram. BatSound Touch can also be used on computers without a touch screen.

Typical workflow would be to use BatSound Touch as the recording app for the M500 microphone (other USB ultrasonic microphones may be used such as Dodotronic, etc.). Site metadata is entered directly into the app and saved with each .wav file. GPS data is automatically saved if available.  For active recording the user may reject undesirable files directly onscreen. If used passively, for example set at a mist net site for a time and trigger thresholds are low, undesirable noise files may be generated which can be removed using the SonoBat Data Wizard. For species suggestions, the data can then be batch processed in SonoBat 4 then manually vetted for species confirmation.

BatSound Touch is also available in a 'Lite' version with limited functionality. This version is available free of charge to M500 owners. Request a copy by emailing a request directly to Pettersson for the latest version!

The BatSound® Touch coupled with the Pettersson M500 USB-power microphone is ideal for:

  • Education programs
  • Voucher calls
  • Active monitoring and selective recording
  • Mobile transects, compatible with Myotisoft Transect
  • Short term passive recording where a tablet/netbook may be deployed
  • Compatible with SonoBat for full spectrum call analysis

Pettersson BatSound® Touch Highlights:

  • High-resolution real-time spectrogram and waveform display.
  • Supports the Pettersson M500 USB Microphone as well as standard Windows sound devices.
  • Manual, triggered and circular buffer recording modes.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask BCM a Question
  • Hi, Will this software be Windows 11 compatible (or will an update come out that is, once Windows 11 is more universal)? We are thinking to purchase this software with the M500 microphone, but want to be sure it will work in the future, too! Thank you!

    The Pettersson M500 microphone is recodnized as a standard USB microphone by Win 10, so there shouldn't be any issues with the hardware being obsolete anytime soon. If for some reason Win 11 doesn't run legacy software for Win 10 there will be an update as there are no plans to discontinue the M500.
