opspoor's AI species identification suggesting a Black-backed Jackal with an 85% match confidence, with Confirm and Not This options

From photo to logged sighting

Four taps from photo to sighting.

  • Take a photo, or pick one from your gallery

    Start from "What did you see?" when logging a sighting and tap Scan a Photo. Camera or gallery, your choice.

  • Crop in on the animal

    Frame the subject for a cleaner read, or skip straight to identifying the full photo.

Why on-device

The identification runs on your phone, not in the cloud.

Most parks are exactly where signal disappears. opspoor’s model lives on your device, so identification works the same deep in the bush with zero bars as it does at the gate.

Under the hood

Almost the whole field guide, and it knows when it’s not sure.

opspoor’s model recognizes almost all of the 239+ species in the field guide and only surfaces a suggestion once it clears a minimum confidence bar. Below that, it says so and guides you to a better-lit or closer photo instead of guessing. It also knows which species actually occur in the park you’re in, and weighs its answer accordingly. It’s a second opinion to speed up logging, not a replacement for your own eyes.

Stop wondering what you just saw.
