A vocal pitch monitor that is yours for good.
Sing or play a note and it names it, then tells you how many cents sharp or flat you are. It works in this tab. The full thing is one HTML file that runs with the internet switched off, and nothing you sing ever leaves your machine.
It starts right here on this page. No account, no email, no install, and the audio never leaves your machine. The light goes out when you stop or close the tab.
sing or play a note
The monitor above tells you where you are. The trainer asks for a note and grades the one you held. Level 1, five exercises, free.
Why this one is different
- One price, once. There is nothing to buy inside, no subscription, and no second till waiting after the first. No adverts either, so nothing competes for your attention while you are listening to your own voice.
- It is a file, not a service. Save it, copy it, open it in three years. There is no server that can go away and no login that can lock you out of something you already have.
- It fits your voice. Bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo, soprano or child, and every exercise transposes with you. Seven ranges, not three broad boxes. Set your concert pitch too, because a trainer locked to 440 calls a 442 ensemble sharp forever and blames them for it.
And it actually hears you
That is the part I would rather you check than believe, which is why level 1 is free and not a teaser. The voice carries strong harmonics that fool simple detectors into hearing the wrong octave, and singers slide into a note before they settle. This one throws away the slide, grades the part you held, and knows which note it asked for, so it cannot report you an octave away.
That last line is on purpose. I would rather it tell you it is out of its depth than hand you a confident wrong answer.
Usable without looking at the screen
Every verdict is spoken in plain words, with no symbols a screen reader would mangle. The guidance is audio and haptic, and it goes quiet when you are in tune, so silence means you are right. Six languages, and four ways of naming notes, including movable do and the German H.
If you want the rest. The full file opens the other five levels, thirty exercises in all, in the order voices actually learn. Two notes at level 1, the five note scale by level 4, half steps only at level 5 once you can hold a note, leaps and the octave at level 6.
One price, once, 9.99 USD. Get the full file. There is nothing else to buy after it.
What it needs
A microphone, and a browser from the last few years. It asks for the microphone once, when you start, and the light goes out when you leave.
How it works, and where it was wrong
Every note it read used to come out sharp, by 2.6 cents at a concert A and by nearly 30 at the bottom of a bass range. The cause turned out to be arithmetic rather than audio, and the whole thing is written up with the measurements before and after, in my pitch detector read every note sharp. If you are going to trust a tuner with your ear, you may as well see where it failed.
