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)

    Thanks for the info o7

    The current scope is to use this more as a visual aid and reminder when for example gaming with friends or something and trying to maintain pitch.

    It’s less about the hard work needed to attain a specific sound with resonance or twang. I personally wanted something that helps reminding me and giving me feedback when I’m just chilling at my puter. Hence the simple pitch detection (which seems to already be technically complicated)

    For mobile I’d pretty much recommend going with the existing tools like Voice Tools

    Afaik no such app can actually tell you how you sound, so recordings are still vital for progress. I still feel the need to see what pitch I am at though, since sometimes that’s rather hard to tell. Which in turn is why we came up with the idea in the first place.

    Sorry for rambling
