If you upload just audio as evidence and you provide the initial ID to species, then identifiers will know what you’re trying to ID. No photo needed. If you’re unsure the ID, identifiers of audio enjoy if you indicate what you want identified in the audio, such as “the noise from 6 seconds to 13 seconds,” or “the singing bird in the background,” etc. If you know you have a photo of the organism making the sound, the photo may help the ID, though we agree with other comments that users may not listen to your audio at all; or at least they may leave no indication that they listened to it. Wish there was a “counter” to indicate how many people listen to it.
