TransectCount supports the species-specific counting of butterflies per transect section according to the European Butterfly Monitoring Scheme method. It is meant for transect counters to ease registering butterflies and day-flying moth during transect surveys.

New in Version 5.0.4:
- Bugfixes for version 5.0.3

New in Version 5.0.3:
- French and Italian languages added
- French and Italian example files added in GitHub Docs
- Added species: Adela reaumurella, Zerynthia cassandra, Cucullia artemisiae and Lithosia quadra
- A "0"-character (zero) in the section specific species remark puts the species also into the results despite a 0 count
- Exporting current DB and results creates the .db and the .csv-file name with date and time of the inspection start instead of the current time
- Counter alert function removed as hardly used
- Some data corrections
- Bugfix for problem with to quickly repeated counter clicks with button sound enabled

Features:
- Data collection is based on a transect inspection.
- Databases refer to a transect and can be individually created and customised within the app with regard to metadata, transect sections and expected species.
- The app contains an internal list with many European species and has a prepared database for a transect section with the most common species to be expected in Germany as a starting point for direct use.
- Export of the current species list for import by TourCount and TransektCount.
- Separate counters for internal/external counting areas and separately for ♂-♀-indeterminate, ♂, ♀, pupa, caterpillar or egg.
- Results page with prepared presentation for transfer to the input mask of Butterfly Monitoring Germany (web.app.ufz.de/tagfalter-monitoring/).
- The result can be output as an SQLite DB file or as a CSV table (e.g. for transfer and further use in a spreadsheet programme on a PC).
- The help contains detailed user instructions.
- TransektCount supports counting in German or English language.

Functions:
- Duplicate and delete transect sections.
- Editing the transect section lists (adding and deleting species and editing terms).
- Editor for metadata in preparation for an inspection.
- Counter page per section with scroll-down list for species selection.
- Species editor for annotation and bulk counter entries.
- GPS support for selecting the current section.
- The results page shows metadata, notes, totals and counting results per species and transect section.

Prerequisites:
The app requires
- storage access permit for importing and exporting counting data,
- the permit to set the screen brightness,
- the permit to prevent the sleep mode,
- optionally the permit for exact GPS location recognition.

The smartphone screen should have a minimum resolution of 1024 x 1920 pixels.
The app can be used with Android version 7.1 (Nougat) or newer.

Documentation is provided under:

TransektCount is one of two apps for monitoring European butterflies.
The second app, TourCount, supports the species-specific and individually GPS-localised counting of butterflies on any walk in nature.

Both apps use the coding scheme of Karsholt/Razowski for European butterflies and thus contain only European butterfly pictures.
