sing with me
the four-octave range gets quoted constantly and almost nobody who repeats the number has tried to find out where their own voice stops. a note is named, a tone plays, and you sing it back — in any octave. hold it steady and the meter fills; the window narrows as you go.

nothing you sing is recorded, uploaded or shared.the microphone feeds an analyser node inside this page, one frame at a time, into a buffer that is overwritten sixty times a second — there is no recorder in the code and no address to send audio to. the microphone is released the moment you press stop or leave the page, which is what turns your browser’s recording indicator off. only the score is kept, in your browser.
the reference tone is a sine wave, not one of her records, and that is a legal line rather than a shortcut: a melody is a composition — a separate copyright from the recording, held by publishers — and scoring you against her top line would need a licence a fan project has no way to obtain. so the game is about pitch rather than about a tune, which is the more interesting half anyway.
