What is the most recommended application for the identification of plants, especially for the Andean area and for orchids? What are your experiences with Plantsnap, PictureThis, Plantnet or others ? Are they improving with time?
It depends a bit what you mean by identification. The image recognition apps among those mentioned above are average the last time I checked. The standard identification app in my view is iNaturalist still, though. There:
1) The image recognition is decent enough for common plants. In addition they have an ever increasing database of images for training the neural net.
2) There is a huge community of users helping you in identification. Also a considerable amount of experts in certain groups.
Thank you very much Dominika Krejčí - indeed very intersting. So Plant.id; Google Lens; Seek and Flora Incognita are all better than the 3 mentioned in my question! :)
