As I stepped into the grand courtyard of Raja Mahal Tamilyogi, I was struck by the stunning beauty of this 18th-century palace. The majestic structure, with its intricately carved pillars, ornate ceilings, and sprawling courtyards, exudes an aura of regality and grandeur. The seamless blend of Dravidian and Islamic architectural styles creates a visually stunning effect, making it a photographer's paradise.
Supports all common soundcards and USB audio interfaces
Opens .wav and .bwf files that have been recorded by any solid state / hard disk field recorder
Imports soundfiles that have been recorded with third-party sound recording/processing tools (.WAV .BWF .AIF, .SND, .AU, various binary formats and .txt)
Exports images and measurement results as files (.wmf, .bmp, .tif, .txt, .htm, .xml, .sql), via clipboard or through DDE directly into Excel
Exports georeferenced field survey data by means of .txt, .kml, .gpx or .shp files into GIS applications (including Google Maps / Google Earth, ArcGIS products, Quantum GIS and many others)
The software can be configured for touch screen operation in order to facilitate its use on tablet PC's.

Heterodyned payback of (full-spectrum) ultrasound recordings
Synthesizer for generating artificial songs and calls by mouse drawing of the parameter evolution (fundamental frequency, envelope, harmonics, frequency and amplitude modulation). Listen to a few synthesized bird songs
Automated classification of syllables by means of spectrogram cross-correlation with templates
A dedicated pulse train analysis tool supports the investigation of temporal patterns of both simple pulse trains or series of sound bursts (e.g. song elements)
Georeferencing (also referred to as geocoding, geolocating or geotagging) .wav files that have been recorded with a digital field recorder by using GPS track log data (see the Bird Species Map and SONY PCM-M10 samples)
Creating field survey maps from labeled or renamed (with filenames containing species prefixes) .wav files that can be easily imported into GIS applications, including Google Maps or Google Earth (see the Avisoft Bat Survey sample).
Synchronizing audio and video recordings by using SMPTE or LANC timecode information (both reading and writing)
Advanced metadata management capabilities including user-defined database fields that can be collected into a virtual (XML-formatted) metadatabase, which can subsequently be queried within the Avisoft-SASLab Pro software.
Batch and real-time processing for managing large numbers of sound files.
and much more ...
Avisoft-SASLab Pro is compatible with any PC running Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7 or Vista including Intel-based Apple Macintosh running Boot Camp, Parallels or similar virtualization software.
Analysis procedures can be accerated by using a SSD rather than a conventional HDD for the Windows Documents folder.
The combination of these features means that the software pretty much lives up to the claims made in the advertising flyer that it is easy and intuitive to use.” … “Avisoft provides cheap, powerful sound analysis for PC’s.” … “If you already have an IBM-compatible computer of the appropriate specification, then Avisoft is a most attractive package
I find Avisoft is a joy to use. The facility and speed with which the user can assess long recordings using the real-time display, prepare and print sonograms and other spectra quickly or export them to other Windows applications, while in full control of the analysis and display parameters, makes this an invaluable programme for bioacoustic research and education.
I’ve been looking for a number of years for a software package that allows the user to simply rub out superfluous portions of the sonogram and with SASLab Pro I have finally found one.
Automatically measuring sound parameters on the spectrogram:
Syllable classification by means of spectrogram cross-correlation:
Avisoft-SASLab Pro is being used by thousands of users for investigating acoustic communication in various animal species including birds, mammals, rodents, frogs, fish and insects. See papers on Google Scholar reporting the use of the Avisoft-SASLab Pro software.
