I think this is the wrong way to look at this problem. You can easily build an app for detecting seagull by their sound but that app isn’t easily customizable and you can’t throw it easily against different problems.
There’s a reason why most of us still use paper from time to time. Multiple local rationalists I know use paper notebooks. That’s because paper is very flexible. For all it’s problem it still outperforms digital tool in many circumstances because it’s so adaptable.
I’m not exactly sure how to respond, but maybe “don’t feed the trolls” is the way to go? I don’t see anything that Sandi did that motivated trolling her.
The answer is actually:
There isn’t a good app for this purpose.
Writing complex AI isn’t the only unsolved problem. Writing a simple and functional general purpose data entry app for smartphones also happens to be a problem without a good solution.
This one wouldn’t be very good, either. To automatize the data input, that’s the way to go, if you ask me. He did ask, and I gave him an answer. Whether you folks like it or not.
The question he asked was “I would like to know if something similar exists before trying to create it”. Maybe, understanding the problem domain isn’t the only problem but also reading comprehension?
“If you say X asked and I answered” that commonly means that you claim that your answer has something to do with the question. If you understand that your answer has nothing to do with the question there’s no need to point out that the person asked.

Recognizing seagull by its voice, is a so called ARA—Absolutely Required Application.
We need a lot of them, billions, perhaps trillions. Or just one, flexible enough to substitute all of them.
Also known as the “better part of an AI”.
(Don’t bother, I have just invented this terminology. )

Some people have no imagination at all. In the “current year” is the database to feed on a smartphone. Which would be kind of okay, if it wouldn’t be:
Give me a break!

Answer only to what you have been asked?
“If you say X asked and I answered” that commonly means that you claim that your answer has something to do with the question. If you understand that your answer has nothing to do with the question there’s no need to point out that the person asked.
