Static Detector Analysis using established methodologies and robust quality assurance

EchoSight provides static detector analysis using established, industry-recognised methodologies. Analysis is delivered either through the BTO acoustic analysis pipeline with proportionate quality assurance, or through Anabat Insight using their methodology with ample species-level QA. Experienced utilising various tool kits including Anabat Insights, Bat Explorer, and Kaleidoscope.

  • Accredited bat ecologists
  • Pipeline-based analysis
  • BTO-compliant exports
  • Priority turnaround slots

What you receive

Structured outputs you can lift straight into reports, licence submissions, and dashboards.

QA verified call-by-call review

Detection outputs are reviewed by accredited agents and experienced ecologists so your species evidence stands up to scrutiny.

  • Structured pipeline outputs with traceable decisions
  • QA notes for downgraded or uncertain calls
  • Clear audit trail with consistent naming across datasets

Clear reporting & visuals

Receive charts, nightly activity summaries, and GIS-ready exports to drop straight into planning reports.

  • Interactive dashboards for survey leads
  • PDF charts and spreadsheets formatted for reports
  • Geo-referenced outputs compatible with GIS workflows

Rapid turnaround slots

Priority deployments move from upload to draft outputs within two working days, even during peak season.

  • 48-hour fast-track triage when slots are pre-booked
  • Transparent scheduling around weather and licence triggers
  • Progress updates shared at agreed milestones

How analysis is delivered

Transparent checkpoints keep you informed from data drop to final handover.

All species identification and reporting conclusions are made by a competent ecologist; automated tools are used solely to support detection, filtering, and data handling. EchoSight does not offer fully automated species identification or unsupervised AI-only analysis.

1. Secure intake

We ingest .wav and .zc files via encrypted portals with metadata capture for detector IDs, locations, and deployment notes.

  • Automated intake receipts with unique dataset IDs
  • Weather and deployment notes stored alongside files
  • Immediate QA check for missing metadata

2. Pipeline triage

We process recordings using either the BTO acoustic analysis pipeline with proportionate QA or Anabat Insight using their methodology with ample species-level QA.

  • Detection and filtering to organise large datasets efficiently
  • Prioritisation of ambiguous or low-confidence calls for review
  • Clear routing for licence-sensitive species checks

3. Quality assurance

Experienced ecologists audit samples at scale, verify identifications, and document activity patterns with traceable QA notes.

  • Large-sample and targeted verification based on scale and risk
  • Review of ambiguous or low-confidence calls
  • Traceable, audit-ready decisions with reviewer commentary

4. Delivery & support

You receive spreadsheets, annotated call snippets, GIS exports, and recommendations for follow-up survey effort.

  • Species lists, activity charts, and GIS exports
  • Annotated call snippets packaged for evidence files
  • Follow-up advice for licensing or additional survey effort

Integrations & governance

Keep compliance watertight while scaling review capacity.

BTO & planning ready formats

Deliverables align with BTO data standards and your internal templates, complete with logbooks and detector metadata.

  • Schema-compliant CSV, XML, and GIS exports
  • Metadata summaries for detectors, observers, and weather
  • Submission packs matched to local authority requirements

Shared progress trackers

Live dashboards show review status so project managers can schedule reporting confidently.

  • Real-time status by detector night and survey location
  • Automatic alerts when QA or delivery milestones complete
  • Secure guest access for client or consultant teams

Audit-friendly QA trails

Version-controlled notes and issue logs provide full traceability for licence and planning queries.

  • Reviewer comments stored alongside decision history
  • Immutable logs covering any data edits or downgrades
  • Downloadable QA summaries for audit or licence submissions
