ALERT! Hear Birds Again is now available in Apple’s App Store!
• for Apple mobile devices only •
Welcome!
My name is Lang Elliott (Project Leader) and I am excited to announce the publication of Hear Birds Again, an iOS mobile application for bird enthusiasts who suffer from high frequency hearing loss and desire to once again enjoy the uplifting songs of wild birds.
This is a non-profit effort. Hear Birds Again is a free, open-source iOS app that employs advanced algorithms to lower the pitch of bird songs in real time, thereby making them audible during walks in nature. Now that we’ve published our initial version, the source code is now available for developers who may help us improve our existing app or else use the code in their own productions. Our intent is to share freely to encourage continued development of more evolved solutions.
DONATE NOW to help us continue development of Hear Birds Again, which will include adding more features such as new algorithms for pitch shifting, refining the binaural headset design, and otherwise keeping the app up-to-date and fully functioning.
A Note to Android Users: While our initial goal was to publish an iOS app for use with Apple mobile devices (especially the iPhone), we are hopeful that an Android version will follow. Go here for more information.

VIDEO EXAMPLES OF PITCH-LOWERING:
NOTE: Hear Birds Again works best when used in conjunction with a special binaural headset that allows high-pitched singers to not only be heard, but also located in 3D space. Go Here for more information.
