Each take listens for four seconds and keeps the pitches it actually heard, trimming the extreme tenth at both ends so one glitch cannot define the result. It measures this session, not your full range: a warmed-up voice or another day can read differently, and notes are named as equal-tempered pitches with A4 at 440 Hz.
A vocal range test that measures what you sing
A range is not a fixed property of a voice: it moves with warm-up, with the time of day and with the song. Rather than ask you to type a comfortable low and high, the vocal range test listens to two takes and reads the pitches it actually heard.
Two takes, low then high
Record your lowest comfortable note, then your highest. Each take listens for four seconds and keeps the pitch it heard.
The span in semitones
The notes are compared as equal-tempered pitches, so the vocal range test reports the distance between them in semitones and in octaves.
Glitches trimmed away
The extreme tenth of each take is discarded before the result is read, so one crack, click or chair creak cannot define your range.
How it works
Measure a range in two takes
Record the low end
Start the first take and sing your lowest comfortable note, holding it steady. The take finalizes itself after four seconds, or as soon as you stop it.
Record the high end
Start the second take and sing your highest comfortable note, without forcing it higher than it wants to go.
Read the range and reset
The vocal range test names both notes and reports the span. Reset clears both takes so a fresh measurement can start.
Takes, span and naming
One take for the lowest comfortable note and one for the highest, each listening on its own.
Long enough to settle on a note, short enough that a slide does not dominate the result.
The span is reported as a semitone count and divided by twelve as octaves to one decimal place.
The pitch band the vocal range test searches, which covers the common singing registers.
Who measures a vocal range
Singers picking a key
Find the low and high ends of what you can comfortably sing before choosing the key of a song.
Writers casting a part
Check what a session singer delivered on the day rather than what a voice category is supposed to cover.
Anyone curious about their range
Sing two takes and read the span in semitones and octaves without a teacher or a piano in the room.
