Looks amazing. I've been using Karafun [1], a paid service, but this seems promising.

Unfortunately karafun, like so many other systems, has egregious holes in its catalog. I hate playing the “this song? No… this song? No… this song? No…” game.

Psst... if you sign up to their Premium tier you can play songs from their "Community" (i.e. user uploaded songs). If you sign up to the "Pro" tier, you can play even more songs that are normally locked from their catalogue (but you'll have to manage rightsholders authorization yourself).

Karafun is a paid service? I've seen their karaoke songs on Youtube for over a decade, I thought that was their business model.

Yes, the free songs on YouTube aren't customizable: there's a low voice guide that you can't turn off (or turn up...), and you can't change tempo.

You can do this from their huge catalog of songs, using their official app or their web client: https://www.karafun.com/web/

Plus, they have music quizzes you can play with many people using smartphones as remote controls. It's super fun for parties where people don't want to sing all the time.

I would like the option to put the original music video as the background, like you can in Ultrastar

Impressive, very nice. Now let's see my death metal collection.

Just joking! Very nice, thanks for open-sourcing it.

No joke, feel free to try it! The beauty of the approach is that you don't have any limitations. Just be prepared to degraded experience, sometimes models struggle even with the simplest pop tracks :D

This looks amazing! looking forward to test it on the weekend. Does it work well on a raspberry pi with 4 gigs of ram?

oof, since it uses quite heavy models locally I would expect it to struggle on such hardware. M1+ macs & nvidia gpus work the best and fastest.

I am getting a virus detected error when downloading from Chrome.

it's a false positive, however feel free to build from the source while I'm figuring out what the virus trigger is about

This is just for English language? I have some older Japanese stuff I would love to sing!

so, as answered in one of the other threads - for me the transcript model performed poorly back in the days, however since then I've added lyrics lookup and tweaked a bunch of parameters, so it is worth trying!

Cool, but on Firefox no lyrics are displayed on the website's demo.

This is very cool. I couldn't find it it already supports duets. I assume it won't.
