About

Peraoke

Features
Read full description

Peraoke is karaoke for Persian music, built around the songs you already have. BRING YOUR OWN SONG Any audio file on your phone is separated into the singer and the band, on the phone itself. Nothing is uploaded. The words are found and timed automatically, verse by verse, so they move with the music while you sing. PRACTISE PROPERLY Slow a song down without changing its key. Move the key without changing the speed. Fade the original singer out until you are the only one singing, or leave a little of them in to lean on. Sing a take and Peraoke reads back how it went — pitch and timing, out of 100. SING IT AND KEEP IT Record yourself with the front camera. Set your voice against the band, add a hall, clean up the sound, and save it to your photos. The whole mix happens on your phone. ONE PHONE, THE WHOLE ROOM Start a Night, pass the phone round, and let everyone add a song and take a turn. PUT A SONG UP Sign in and share a song you have the right to share. It is checked by a person before anyone else can sing it. Free. No account needed to sing.
