Overview

The Singing Carrots Pitch Accuracy Test is an interactive web-based tool that helps users assess their ability to match pitch. It works through a combination of guided steps, microphone input, real-time pitch analysis, and visual feedback.
This documentation provides a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of the entire user flow, from the moment the page loads to the moment the final pitch test results are displayed.

Step-by-Step User Flow

Step 1: Page Load – User Questionnaire

Upon loading the page, a modal popup titled "Adjusting the test..." appears.
The popup contains the question: "Are you an experienced singer?"
Three multiple-choice answers are presented:
1. I always struggle to hit the right notes when I sing
2. I have some singing experience and mostly sing in tune
3. I am a professional singer / vocal coach

Step 2: Voice Type Selection

After answering the first question, a second modal appears:
"Which kind of voice do we test?"
Options:
- Male voice
- Female voice

Step 3: Headphones Check

A new modal window is shown with the title "Pitch accuracy test" and subtitle "Before we begin"
Message:

In order for our test to work properly, you will need to use headphones and enable your mic. Please, put your headphones on 🎧.

  • Checkbox: Do not show this message again
  • Button: I have my headphones on

Step 4: Step 1/3 – Sing a Note

A visual piano interface appears, highlighting the note C3.
Assistant message:

Step 1/3. Listen to the note. Sing it with 'Laaaa', holding the pitch for a few seconds. (Green note on the piano.)

Buttons available:
- Listen (plays the C3 note)
- Keyboard controls: Back arrow, Zoom out, Zoom in, Forward arrow

Real‑time feedback:
- Pitch visualized as a red line moving across the keyboard.
- The note being sung is displayed at the top left next to a mic icon.

Once the user hits the correct note:
