Talking Tuner Overview
What is Talking Tuner? HotPaw Talking Tuner is a sound-activated musical instrument tuner that uses speech synthesis to tell you if a sound is in tune or not. It is designed to assist vision-impaired individuals with tuning their musical instruments. The app listens for a note to be played, speaks the note name, and estimates how many cents sharp or flat the note is. The pitch estimation algorithm works best for notes between 2 octaves below Middle-C to 2 octaves above Middle-C, and the default tuning resolution is about +- 3 cents. Optional higher resolution tuning settings are available in the app's Preferences.
1. Talking Tuner will listen for a note to be played, and then, after waiting for the end of the sound (so as not to talk over it), will speak the note name, and how many cents sharp or flat the end of the note is estimated to be.
2. HotPaw Talking Tuner is a hands-off, sound-activated, talking musical instrument tuner.
3. A few years ago, I received a request to develop an iPhone app that could assist a vision-impaired individual with tuning their musical instruments.
4. This is a Windows version of the iOS HotPaw Talking Tuner app.
5. The default tuning resolution is about +- 3 cents (3/100ths of the pitch difference between semitones).
6. Optional higher resolution tuning settings available in the app's Preferences may result in a slower tuning response.
7. Talking Tuner does not require that VoiceOver be enabled.
8. The pitch estimation algorithm works best for notes between 2 octaves below Middle-C to 2 octaves above Middle-C.
9. It uses speech synthesis to talk and tell you if a sound is in tune or not, so you don't have to look at your Windows.
10. Using headphones may help make it easier to hear what this app is saying while tuning.
11. It may not work as well for very low notes, very high notes, or with any background noise, harmony, or accompaniment present.
