Practice like a teacher is listening. Your first three analyses are free — no account, no card, nothing to set up. StringAI records your playing, measures what you actually did, and turns it into clear coaching — one thing to work on at a time. No vague encouragement, no guesswork: every note is measured, and every piece of advice points at something real in your recording. WHAT IT MEASURES • Intonation — how close each note lands to the pitch you meant, and how steady you hold it once you get there • Tone — brightness, stability, and the scratch, whistle, and surface-noise faults that come from bow speed, weight, and contact point • Bowing — bow angle and travel, straightness through the stroke, and how much of the bow you actually use • Rhythm — timing against the beat, note by note • Posture — bow hold and left-hand wrist angle, tracked with on-device vision HOW A SESSION WORKS 1. Record. Point your phone at yourself and play — a scale, an exercise, or a piece you're working on. Or record audio only, with no camera at all. 2. Get measured. Pitch, tone, bow motion, and posture are analyzed right on your device in seconds. 3. See what happened. Not a grade out of ten — real counts. How many notes landed in tune, which ones keep drifting and how often, and what went well. 4. Practice it. Guided practice blocks turn the diagnosis into something you can actually do, then check whether it worked. BUILT TO SHOW PROGRESS Every session counts the same things, so your trends mean something over weeks and months. Watch your out-of-tune notes fall, see which notes keep catching you out, compare attempts at the same passage, pin the piece you're working on, and set a weekly goal you can actually keep. YOUR RECORDINGS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Practice video and audio are analyzed on your phone. Raw recordings are never uploaded to our servers. What syncs is your results and progress — not the footage. FOR WHO Adult beginners, returning players, students between lessons, and anyone practicing without a teacher in the room. Violin first — the measurement work is built on the violin's range and technique. A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS NOT StringAI is a practice tool, not a teacher and not a medical or diagnostic product. Its measurements and AI feedback can be wrong. Treat them as a second opinion on your own ears, not a verdict.
