Google lens identified the bizarre parasitic toothwort quicker than our trail mate the professional botanist did. And presumably will only get better. (The app not the botanist)

Impressive. Had to look it up and one article described is as a beautiful vampire ...

I like PlantNet. It uses the data to refine records of plant distribution. And as far as I can tell it’s very accurate.

I’ll check out your bird song recommendations.

Interesting and good that it has a scientific purpose too. From another app, perhaps the least accurate result I've had is to state that a photo shows a dicot' which apparently is the name for a group containing around 200,000 species of flowering plants!

Probably is accurate, just not very specific.
