Hi, thanks for the feedback! I am working on ways to improve it, but unfortunately the gender estimation model can be susceptible to background noise or if you’re not speaking clearly and directly into the microphone. If you want to email info@genderfluentapp.com to explain how you use the app, I’d love to learn more. The gender estimation model was trained on a very large collection of audio recordings where the speaker identified their gender (the Common Voice dataset), and supplemented with voice recordings from people with less common voices (e.g. a cis woman with a very low pitch). The site already has one blog post showcasing performance, but I plan to publish something more comprehensive.
Pretty neat
Use your ears in conjunction with the data from the app, take notes on each practice session for bonus points. I’ve always enjoyed manipulating my voice and doing impressions; nothing beats analyzing recordings of yourself.
The hardest part of using this app is finding someone to teach you how to change what you find you don’t like, but I also think it’s an invaluable tool for people who don’t have formal vocal instruction
Super insightful and helps me track my training progress!
No real training

Hello, thank you for your feedback. Sorry it did not live up to your expectations. But I do believe the app screenshots, description and website do faithfully depict what features the app offers. True, it does not offer exercises and bespoke feedback like you might get from a voice coach. The app is meant to be used along side exercises you get elsewhere or with a voice coach.
