That's even worse, they're polluting the open source space with AI slop. Anyone learning from open source will not learn anything useful from it.

Man, nobody is learning anything any more, those days are gone. Programming with actual code is a niche hobby or a hyperspecialized profession now, like demoscene coders. Besides, even before LLMs, it's not like anyone ever said "you shouldn't have open sourced this, we can't learn from your code". We just didn't bother reading that code. Telling off people who contribute is not OK.

AI slop is not a contribution.

So cool! I'll try it with the steam deck. Being able to go to a party with just the deck and a microphone and have a karaoke with any song people want sounds good.

I'm not sure whether the analysis would work swiftly enough on steam deck, it might be better to analyze on a desktop device and transfer ~/.nightingale/songs to the steam deck. just saying!

This is just for English language? I have some older Japanese stuff I would love to sing!

so, as answered in one of the other threads - for me the transcript model performed poorly back in the days, however since then I've added lyrics lookup and tweaked a bunch of parameters, so it is worth trying!

I've been working on a karaoke app called Nightingale. You point it at your music folder and it turns your songs into karaoke - separates vocals from instrumentals, generates word-level synced lyrics, and lets you sing with highlighted lyrics and pitch scoring. Works with video files too. Everything runs locally on your machine, nothing gets uploaded. No accounts, no subscriptions, no telemetry. It ships as a single…

I just want to say how much I love that you used Dean Blunt in the example video

Big karaoke fan, so thanks for doing this. I'm processing a first test song as I write. The pitch scoring sounds really interesting as both a competitive and maybe also a training tool. A couple of immediate small pieces of feedback: * The colour scheme on the queue/nn% buttons is really low contrast - white on pale yellow is very hard to read * the 'models' button (bottom left) - I assumed this would give me details…

hey, thanks for the feedback, both noted!

Really nice project, I'm looking forward to trying it! Would it be possible to process songs on one device, and then use the result in another, or even multiple? Or would it be possible to run as separate server / client? I ask mainly because the device I connect to my TV is definitely not the most powerful one, so it would be nice if I can preprocess the songs elsewhere.

Just tried it with B.E.D - Walk Away [0], unfortunately it lost track of the lyrics after 30 secs (Model is "large-v3"). Will play around a bit more, as it would be great to have a working karaoke generator. Some quick feedback: - Needs a way to skip for-/backwards during playback to validate the result - Sentences seem to be recognized (first letter has uppercasing), but periods aren't added - Needs an option to edi…

Periods in song lyrics?

I'm guessing they mean punctuation in general?
