About Nightingale
Karaoke from any song in your music library, powered by neural networks. Nightingale scans your music folder, Plex Media Server, Jellyfin server, Navidrome server, or self-hosted web library; separates lead vocals from instrumentals using the UVR Karaoke model (or Demucs); transcribes lyrics with word-level timestamps via WhisperX; and plays it all back with synchronized highlighting, pitch scoring, key/tempo controls, profiles, and dynamic backgrounds.
