Vanido, which detects Sidana’s
pitch and gives feedback in real time, creates daily personalized exercises to help users like her improve their voices and recognize music notes. Since its launch in January, Vanido has gained over 40,000 users who have collectively completed over two million exercises on the app, according to co-creator Himanshu Singh; more importantly, from Sidana’s perspective, it has also helped her improve her voice.
Vanido is just one of many apps promising to help smartphone users refine a skill or learn an entirely new one. Many of these apps have now been on the market for several years, like the popular language learning service
Duolingo, while Vanido and others like guitar-teaching
Fender Play are just entering the fray.
