New macOS app OnKey trains singers using AI analysis of music

OnKey is a new, free, open-source singing trainer application for macOS, designed for users with Apple Silicon Macs. The app analyzes songs from Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube to generate lyrics and learn the singer's melody. It then displays scrolling notes and overlays the user's pitch in real-time, providing a score and detailed feedback on vocal performance. OnKey prioritizes user privacy by processing all audio analysis locally on the user's machine, with no data being saved or transmitted. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel application of AI for vocal training, potentially improving user engagement with music.
