alt Hacker News> I think the most interesting part of this project is that I demonstrated it’s possible to give Claude Code ears
Of course it can analyze audio. I made it detect Marijn Frank saying a high pitched "Hallo" in a much better way that I could have done myself (subtitle matching), namely by frequency analysis, in the process learning how that works with librosa: https://marijnfrankzegthallo.nl
It's still a bit surprising the first time. Especially if you've been playing with these things for years now almost exclusively with text and perhaps checking for extra fingers now and then.
I didn't have birdnet to hand and wanted to identify something. It was hard to take a picture with my phone but easy to record. Turns out one of the models was able to identify it.
I guess the Americans might appreciate gunshot identification and localisation or someone might drive around in winter/summer recording the streets to listen for heat pumps that are on the way out so they can advertise repair services. I would like a local version for movement/presence detection based on footsteps as an alternative to having pir sensors all over the place for my hall lights.
