Hello girlies and other folk,

my boyfriend is programming a desktop app that displays your current voice input’s frequency in Hz over time with a real time graph, similar to the app “voice tools” many of us use for voice training.

I’m trying to garner interest for such a desktop app and would appreciate input about it so I can show him that it’s not something only I would want.

I would also be interested in the OS you would be using, since currently it’s only on Linux (as we use arch btw).

The image shows what it’s currently looking like and the settings window. The entire point is for it to be always on top of everything else so you can always see how you’re doing.

And for the other nerds: it’s written in Python (making it quite large, about 2GB, he’s trying to port it to Rust (based) and make it smaller)

    Of course it will be, the size is due to tensorflow which handles pitch detection

      Could you elaborate on how Rust will decrease the binary size? You cannot meaningfully decrease the neural network, right?

      Not trying to hate, just curious.

        I think its because of the python installer and it needing more dependencies to be fully present? I’m working on getting the current build out of him, I hope that will allow others to have a more educated look than me.
