Nightingale Karaoke Skill

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Nightingale is a self-contained, ML-powered karaoke application written in Rust (Bevy engine). It scans a local music folder, separates vocals from instrumentals (UVR Karaoke model or Demucs), transcribes lyrics with word-level timestamps (WhisperX), and plays back with synchronized highlighting, real-time pitch scoring, player profiles, and GPU shader / video backgrounds. Everything — ffmpeg, Python, PyTorch, ML models — is bootstrapped automatically on first launch.
