Your pitch shape
This draws what your voice did. It isn't a score.
Using it
Say a word into the microphone and the tool draws what your voice actually did, over the same curve for a model voice. Tone is a shape, and seeing your own is far more use than being told a number. There is no score, and your recording never leaves your browser — the pitch tracking runs on your own machine.
