Talking Tuner: Tune Your Guitar Easily

Brian from Champaign, Illinois, presents a demo of Talking Tuner, an affordable app designed for tuning instruments. Brian demonstrates the app using a six-string acoustic guitar, though he speculates it can also be used for other stringed instruments as long as users know the notes they need to tune to. The app provides audio feedback on the note being played and how far it is from being in tune, without specifying string numbers.

Talking Tuner costs only a dollar in the U.S., and as Brian humorously notes, “I’d buy that for a dollar.” In the demo, Brian tunes the guitar step by step, starting with the low E string, adjusting the tuning based on the app’s feedback such as “22 cents flat” or “17 cents sharp” until it is perfectly in tune. He explains that the process involves fine adjustments to tighten or loosen the strings. Although he doesn’t tune all six strings in the demo, the method remains consistent across all of them.

He hopes the demo proves helpful to those considering the app for their instrument tuning needs.
