Upwork is hiring a Audio- Machine Learning Engineer - Use AI to analyze Audios of Dogs Barking

Hi,

I've 20 recordings or so ( iPhone Voice Memo) from 5 minutes -- 168 hours in length, of mostly silence but also of hundreds and hundreds of dog barks.

Sometimes an airplane can be heard or a door, but mostly the audio is silent.

I am looking for analyze how many times a dog ( there are a few dogs) barks per 15 minute time period.

I had a fine person work on it, and he built a file and used Audacity to count 425 barks from 30 minutes or a 160 hour audio, but he could not get it to work on other audio files.

The audio files are not loud. The barking is a few hundred feet away.

I wonder if I should have switched on 'enhanced audio' before I moved them off my iPhone?

I'll attach a few samples.

If interested and you're confident you could build something that could work, please contact me.

My thinking is the output would show:

1) time and date of the audio

2) length of audio

3) how many barks every 15 minutes - xl? graph?

4) and once it works, I could 'run' the program with the audios.
