VoiceNectar is your pocket music studio for vocal practice. Whether you're warming up with classical exercises, learning melodies from your favourite songs, or recording sing-along sessions over studio-quality backing tracks – everything happens on your phone, no account required. PRACTICE Set a tanpura drone, pick a raag, and run through swaras and alankars at your own pace. Choose from built-in templates or create your own. Hear each phrase played back on sitar, harmonium, flute, piano, or violin before you sing it. Adjust tempo and pitch to match your range. ALANKARS FROM ANY SONG Pick any song from your library. VoiceNectar extracts the melody and breaks it into singable phrases, instant alankars, from real music. Tap a phrase to hear it rendered in your chosen instrument, then sing along. KARAOKE & LYRICS Upload a song and get synchronised, word-level lyrics in seconds. Sing along with a scrolling karaoke display. Supports Hindi, Urdu, and English, with optional translation so you can follow along in a language you're learning. SING ALONG Record your voice over a backing track with the vocals removed. Play back your recording, compare it against the original, and share it when you're happy with the take. SONG MODULATION Apply studio-style audio presets to any song — change pitch, adjust tempo, or isolate vocals or instruments. Experiment with the sound before you practise. RECORDINGS Every recording you make is saved to a built-in library. Browse, replay, rename, or share your takes. A persistent now-playing bar lets you keep listening while you navigate. THREE LANGUAGES The full interface is available in English, Hindi, and Urdu. PRIVACY FIRST No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Microphone recordings never leave your device unless you explicitly share them. Audio files uploaded for processing are cached temporarily and auto-deleted within hours. VoiceNectar is made for vocalists at every level, from students running their first sa-re-ga-ma to performers polishing stage-ready recordings.

Sing a note. See the swar. Swar Detector listens to your voice or instrument and shows you the note you are on — big, clear, and instant. A ring around it turns from amber to green as you close in on true pitch, and bursts gold the moment you lock it. BUILT FOR RIYAZ Set your Sa to any key and octave, and every swar on screen re-maps to it. Practice in your own scale, the way you actually sing — not someone else's. सा ą¤°ą„‡ą„’ ą¤°ą„‡ ą¤—ą„’ ग म ą¤®ą„‘ प ą¤§ą„’ ध ą¤Øą¤æą„’ नि The full twelve-note rail sits along the bottom, with your current note lit. Read it in Devanagari, or switch to Western names (C, D, E…) with one tap. SEE HOW CLOSE YOU ARE A live cents reading tells you exactly how sharp or flat you are — so you can hear the difference and fix it, note by note. FOR SINGERS AND PLAYERS Voice, harmonium, flute, sitar, guitar, violin — anything with a clear pitch. Useful for daily riyaz, for tuning, and for training your ear. QUIET AND PRIVATE No account. No ads. No network. Audio is analysed on your device and thrown away immediately — nothing is ever recorded, saved, or uploaded. Set your Sa and begin.
