Audio identification FAQ
What audio formats can I upload?
MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, and WebM recordings up to 20 MB are supported.
Can it identify a person by their voice?

How do I get a better result?
Use a short clip where the unknown sound is clear, avoid heavy wind or speech over it, and add the recording location and context.
