Yacho GO

Yacho GO is a birdwatching app whose site is in Japanese. Its main features are AI identification of bird photos, a personal bird encyclopedia and a birding map in beta. The AI analyzes a photo and suggests candidate species, which can be compared side by side so a new bird can be recorded, and the FAQ cites an accuracy of around 60 percent that is better when the bird fills most of the frame. If you know the species you can also register it by hand.

Recorded photos are arranged automatically in an encyclopedia that grows by family and species page, with filters by season and distribution in a Plus tier. The map offers recommended birding spots, pins for sightings and photos at each location, and the records are private to the user. Encyclopedias can be made public and viewed on the web. The app covers 684 domestic species, runs on iOS 16 and later and Android 7 and later, and the site also lists an online shop and an identification API for companies and NPOs, with a pricing page.
