Echo Meter Touch Bat Detector

The Echo Meter Touch Bat Detector Chrome extension pairs with Echo Meter Touch 2 hardware modules to let users listen to, record, and identify bats by their ultrasonic echolocation calls. Designed for nature enthusiasts, citizen scientists, and professional researchers, it converts ultrasonic signals into audible sounds and provides real-time spectrogram visualizations. The app features patented Real Time Expansion (RTE) technology for high-fidelity listening, automatic species identification for 26+ regional bats, and GPS mapping of recordings. Users can capture recordings in full-spectrum .wav files, annotate them, and transfer them via Wi-Fi or USB for detailed analysis. This affordable tool opens the silent, hidden world of bats, supporting conservation and study through interactive technology.

Available in two models—Echo Meter Touch 2 for hobbyists and Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro for professionals—the extension integrates seamlessly with the hardware to reveal the rich acoustic environment of bats. While the auto-identification offers high accuracy, users should note it is best for single bats in open areas and not for complex social or clustered settings. Overall, this extension enhances outdoor engagements and scientific research through accessible bat detection and identification tools.
