Starts an interactive Shiny application for manually validating BirdNET detections using audio clips and spectrograms.This tool is designed to support manual review of BirdNET results.

Usage

birdnet_launch_validation()

Value

A shiny.appobj that runs the BirdNET audio validation platform in a web browser.

Details

This function launches a user-friendly Shiny app that allows you to:

  • Import a CSV file of BirdNET detections (selection table format),

  • Select the directory containing your audio files,

  • View and validate each detection using spectrograms and audio playback,

  • Edit validation results interactively and save the updated table.

Audio playback and spectrogram generation now support multiple audio formats (e.g., WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG) through the av package. Internally, all files are converted to temporary WAV files with av::av_audio_convert() before being read by tuneR::readWave(), ensuring compatibility without quality loss. File names are displayed without their extensions using base R functions.
