Pitch Scoring

Nightingale includes real-time pitch scoring to gamify the karaoke experience.

How It Works

  1. Microphone input — select your microphone and toggle it on with M
  2. Pitch detection — your vocal pitch is analyzed in real-time
  3. Comparison — your pitch is compared against the reference vocal track
  4. Scoring — accuracy is tracked throughout the song

Star Ratings

At the end of each song, you receive a star rating based on your overall pitch accuracy. Ratings are saved to your profile’s scoreboard.
