About
One species, one revolution, one site.
CrowLingo exists because the gap between what the bioacoustics field knows and what the general curious reader gets to see had grown too wide.
The mission
CrowLingo is a focused, visually-led hub for what AI-powered animal language processing reveals — and doesn't reveal — about the American crow. The audience is the educated curious public, citizen scientists, machine-learning practitioners new to bioacoustics, corvid researchers who want a tight public-facing artifact to point to, and designers who care about how this kind of work gets presented.
The editorial line
Three commitments shape every page on the site. First, crows only. No dilution with whales, dolphins, elephants, or general animal-language content. The focus is what makes a coherent site possible.
Second, intellectually honest. We distinguish demonstrated capability from emerging evidence from science fiction at every claim. The full position lives at current vs aspirational; it leaks into every other page as a verbal habit.
Third, visuals first. Infographics carry the explanatory weight; prose supports the visuals, not the other way around. Every diagram on the site is regenerable from a documented prompt — the rendered images are editable artifacts, not magic.
The design language
Iridescent dark mode drawn from crow-feather spectroscopy. Editorial serif headlines, structural sans for UI, mono for data and code. Glass only where there's something interesting behind it. No purple-pink gradients, no animated counters, no carousel. The design system is treated as law, not preference.
The citation policy
Every empirical claim ties to a primary source on the library page. Aggregated journalism and blog posts are excluded by default. Where a finding hasn't cleared peer review yet (Demartsev et al. 2026 is the main current example), it's labeled as a preprint inline.
What CrowLingo is not
- Not a commercial product.
- Not a translator. We do not generate, claim to understand, or sell understanding of crow communication.
- Not affiliated with Earth Species Project or any specific lab; we credit them, we don't speak for them.
- Not a substitute for the primary literature. It's a doorway.
