but unfortunately it was the quality you expect for under £5.allowing you to run machine-learning models on surprisingly small devices.

Its a simple script that loads the required packages and configures a Python environment for the BirdNET Lite machine-learning models.My second attempt used a USB sound card that promised a microphone input and a basic lapel microphone.
