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 mobile 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)
not to discourage you or your boyfriend, but from what i know about voice training, pitch is only one piece of the overall puzzle among resonance, emphasis in parts of words, general cadence of speech, etc. the other things are, ofc, much harder to build tools about, so it’s nice to build something to help with pitch, at least
i guess what i’m hoping to come out of this comment is just acknowledging that in this program, so that you don’t get people early on in their transition going “i pass on your voice meter and not to any actual people wtf!!!” but i understand if that’s also out of the scope of this project
Yeah I’m aware of this, it’s mostly supposed to help visualise your pitch as you do all the other necessary stuff to sound like you intend to, similar to how I use it with my speech therapist. It might not help without additional resources and it’s not meant to. Frankly I have no clue how you’d detect resonance and other things without some form elaborate of machine learning, but there’s a reason I’m no programmer myself 💀
