We are currently improving and up-dating Ishmael, a user-friendly, open-access bioacoustic analysis software, which has become one of the most widely-used analysis tools used by bioacousticians. It includes displays of sound waveforms and spectrograms, recording capability for real-time input, several methods for acoustic localization, beamforming, several methods for automatic call recognition, and a sound annotation facility. Improvements include better real-time sound input, incorporation of better software interfaces to, e.g., databases and localization algorithms, improved handling of large datasets, and better user interfaces.
