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 edit results from the track analysis
Thanks for keeping it FOSS!

Periods in song lyrics?
reply
I'm guessing they mean punctuation in general?

hey mate! thanks for your feedback.

indeed, I'm running to two problems on the analyzer side: 1. align model sliding off (especially w/ chorus/back vocals present) 2. transcript skipping parts of lyrics in lyrics-heavy tracks (I tried a lot of russian rap, lol)

happy for contributions as I'm not that experienced w/ machine learning side of the project, mostly it was emperical "tweak the parameters and look what is changed"

also model only affects the transcript job (I need to make it clearer in the UI). For the alignment, it's a single model provided by whisperx

Amazing work! I am thrilled someone was motivated to approach this problem and develop a creative solution like this. There are very limited options for Karaoke, especially in the FOSS space. Most Karaoke apps are super limited and that's driven many Karaoke enjoyers I know to YouTube in search of the songs they want to sing. This solution would give them the power to do even more songs, even better than what's out there now!

Questions for you:

1. What CUDA capability level is necessary for Nvidia GPU accelleration to work?

3. Are there any plans to support iGPU/NPU accelleration on AMD and Intel? Asking because those chips are most common in the mini computers sold at low cost these days.

My family members who love Karaoke and will be happy to try this. Looking forward to it!

hi!

1. Maxwell+ should work well 3. I would need to explore, you can join the discord or the mailing list on the website!

cheers!

Excited to try this out. How well does WhisperX deal with lyrics in say Mandarin or Cantonese? Does it output Hanzi?
reply
I haven't tried Mandarin and Cantonese, but tried Japanese. back at that time, it performed poorly. however, I've tweaked a bunch of settings since then, so maybe it has changed. Hanzi is a supported font and can be output, but the transcript/alignment quality might not be the best

I just want to say how much I love that you used Dean Blunt in the example video
reply
one of my favorite artists and this one is one of my favorite tracks in general. cheers!

Struggled somewhat with Tjamuku Ngurra by the Tjintu Desert Band, absolutely nailed Mariah Carey's Ken Lee.
