AccessibleTuner vs K

Accessible Tuner is a simple multi-tuner app created by LUCA, a blind developer, who has had some difficulties finding a VoiceOver-accessible tuner app in the past herself. It will start listening for any sounds when the START button is pressed, and will show the closest note, and wheather the note is too high, too low, or in tune. Since the result area changes live, I recommend stopping the function before checking it with VoiceOver. While the Beep sound toggle is turned on, a short beep will be played when the note comes in tune. Keeping this toggle off is recommended bwhen earphones are unconnected, ecause the microphone may pick up the sound. For your information, notes falling within a 10-cent range are determined as in tune. -------- Accessible Tunerは全盲の開発者、LUCAが自らウクレレやカリンバをチューニングする際にVoiceOverで使いやすいチューナーアプリがなく困った経験を元に、乏しいSwiftの知識でなんとか形にした、視覚障害者向けのマルチ・チューナーです。 「START」ボタンを押すと聞き取りが開始され、聴取された音に最も近い音階(A~G)と、それが高いか、低いか、丁度合っているかを表示します。聞き取り中はリアルタイムで結果が変わってしまうため、落ち着いてVoiceOverに読み上げさせたい場合には、音を鳴らした後に一度「STOP」を選択して、結果表示部をご確認ください。 「ビープ音」をオンにすると、丁度になった時に短い音が鳴ります。ただし、イヤホンを使わない場合はビープ音をマイクが拾ってしまうことがあるため、通常はオフがおすすめです。 なお、本アプリでは+-10セント以内を「ちょうど」と判定します。

K-Tuner is a guitar tuner you can use without looking at the screen. Pluck a string and it hears which string you played. Once the note settles, it tells you in words: "String 6, in tune", "too low", or "too high". Turn the peg, pluck again, and listen. It is designed to work with VoiceOver from the ground up. Nothing important is shown only by color or by the position of a needle. Every result is spoken. HOW IT WORKS • Open the app and it starts listening right away. • Pluck one string. K-Tuner picks the string automatically. You can also tap a string button to lock it. • When the note settles, it speaks the result. It stays quiet while you are turning the peg, so it never talks over you. • If the note fades too soon, it gives you a rough reading such as "probably too high" instead of staying silent. • If another string is ringing and hiding the one you plucked, it tells you which string to mute. • Tap "Speak current reading" at any time to hear the string and how many cents it is off. MADE FOR VOICEOVER • Every control has a clear label and hint. • Start or stop with a two-finger double-tap (magic tap), so you never have to find a button while holding your guitar. • The meter and the constantly changing numbers are hidden from VoiceOver so the focus never jumps around. • Results are announced in the language of the app, and the announcements do not interrupt each other in the wrong order. NOT USING VOICEOVER? Turn on "Speak aloud" in Settings and K-Tuner speaks the results itself, at the rate you choose. Sighted players get a large circular meter with a needle that turns green when the string is in tune. CAPO Tuning with a capo on? Set the capo fret right on the tuner screen and every string's target moves up with it. FREE VERSION • Standard tuning (E A D G B E) • Capo • Automatic string picking • Spoken results and VoiceOver support • The visual meter K-TUNER PRO (one-time purchase) • 18 more tunings: half step down, whole step down, Drop D, Drop C, Drop B, Open D, Open E, Open G, Open A, Open C, DADGAD, Nashville, all fourths, all fifths, major thirds, guitalele, and ukulele (high G and low G) • Reference pitch from 430 to 445 Hz Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. Buy it once and use it on all your iPhones and iPads with the same Apple ID. PRIVACY K-Tuner uses the microphone only to measure pitch. Nothing is recorded or saved, and no audio ever leaves your device. There are no accounts and no ads. If something goes wrong, you can choose to email the developer an activity log; it contains no audio. TIPS • Place your iPhone near the body of the guitar with the microphone facing it. Your lap or a music stand works fine. • Pluck with normal strength. A very hard pluck takes longer to settle. • Keep the microphone out of air-conditioner drafts. Questions or feedback?
