SoundVisualizer_v2.1.1

SoundVisualizer 2.1.1 fixes the remaining rough edges found after 2.1. If you are on 2.1, this is a drop-in update.

Download

SoundVisualizer_v2.1.1.zip — Windows 10/11 (64-bit). You don't need to install .NET. Extract the zip anywhere and run SoundVisualizer.exe. Settings are saved in settings.json next to the exe; to keep your settings, copy your old settings.json into the new folder.

Fixes

• Overlay settings panel showed old values. With the F4 panel open, changing the mode, size, sound types or colors in the launcher left the panel showing the old values, and moving one of its sliders then wrote the old value into the new mode. The open panel now follows the launcher. While you are dragging something in the panel it waits until you let go.
• Home notice named a switch you couldn't see. In the simple settings view the row is labelled "Ambient", but the notice told you to turn on "Show ambient sounds". It now quotes the label that is on screen.
• Size steps in the simple view. A size that the slider shows as "50" (for example 49.5) wasn't recognized as Medium. A value now counts as a step whenever the slider shows that step's number. The previous selection also no longer flashes for a moment when you switch from Detailed to the simple view.
• Early voice display could switch itself off. If the voice detector ever produced an invalid value, the early display of Human sounds stayed off until the audio device changed or the app was restarted. It now resets and keeps going.

Developer mode

• The overlay readout now updates as soon as the AI publishes a result instead of only every 100 ms, so a short-lived early voice display is no longer missed on screen or in the recording.
• The CSV recording has a new last column, speech_preview, that tells an early voice display apart from a confirmed result. Existing columns keep their order.
• A long sound name next to SPEECH ~PREVIEW is shortened with an ellipsis so the first readout line stays on one line.

How this release was checked

• 1,311 automated tests. Each fix has a test that fails on the 2.1 code.
• This exact package was started on a test PC: first-run tutorial, the simple and detailed settings views, the no-playback-device notice, closing and reopening, and the Arabic, German and English screens.
• Not checked live: the test PC has no audio output device, so the overlay cannot run there. The settings-panel fix and the developer readout were verified by tests and code review only.

Notes

• Sound type detection can be wrong. Don't rely on this app as your only safeguard when safety is at stake.
• Licenses for bundled libraries, the YAMNet model, the Silero VAD model (MIT), the AudioSet sound names (CC BY-SA 4.0), the Pretendard font (OFL), and the tutorial sounds (CC0 / public domain) are in THIRD_PARTY.md and in the app under Help → About → Open source licenses.

SoundVisualizer_v2.1

SoundVisualizer 2.1 brings the Android version's latest changes to Windows: a picture-based easy settings view, a broader "Human sounds" type, and voices that show up a little sooner.

Download

SoundVisualizer_v2.1.zip — Windows 10/11 (64-bit). You don't need to install .NET. Extract the zip anywhere and run SoundVisualizer.exe. Settings are saved in settings.json next to the exe; to keep your settings from an earlier version, copy your old settings.json into the new folder.

What's new

Easy settings

• The Settings tab now opens with a simple view where you choose by picture: the shape (four cards drawn by the real renderer), the size (Small, Medium, Large), and which sound types to show.
• Everything else is under "Detailed", exactly as before. If you had already customized the detailed settings, the tab opens there.
• If the size was set in Detailed to a value that is none of the three steps, the simple view says so, and its "Detailed" button takes you straight to that slider.

Human sounds (formerly Speech)

• The Speech type is now called Human sounds in all 18 languages, because it covers more than talking: laughter, crying, shouting, and now sneezing, coughing and breathing as well.
• In the Sounds tab, the "Coughs, breathing and body sounds" group therefore appears twice: coughs, breathing and sneezes under Human sounds, and the rest under Ambient.

Voices show up sooner

• When a voice starts, a small voice detector (Silero VAD) checks the newest audio and can show Human sounds about a quarter of a second earlier.
• It only changes what is drawn. Danger sounds and your own choices in the Sounds tab always take priority, and the detector is not used at all while you have changed any sound's type.

Fixes

• Settings saved by very old versions (from before each visual mode had its own settings) are now carried over instead of being reset to defaults.
• While the app is waiting for a new hotkey, switching to another tab or view now cancels the wait. Before, the next key you pressed there was saved as the hotkey.
• Help and tutorial text now point to "Detailed" for the settings that live there (colors, opacity, sensitivity, sound mode, hotkeys, performance).
• The report button, the GitHub link and the README now point to the project's new home, SOVIS-Team.

How this release was checked

• 1,218 automated tests, including runs of the real YAMNet and Silero models on recorded speech.
• This exact package was started on a test PC: first-run tutorial, easy settings, the jump to Detailed, the no-playback-device notice, closing and reopening with settings kept, and the Arabic, German, English, Japanese and Turkish screens.
• Not checked by ear: the test PC has no audio output device, so the overlay with live sound and the timing of the early voice display were verified by the automated tests only.

Notes

• Sound type detection can be wrong. Don't rely on this app as your only safeguard when safety is at stake.
• Licenses for bundled libraries, the YAMNet model, the Silero VAD model (MIT), the AudioSet sound names (CC BY-SA 4.0), the Pretendard font (OFL), and the tutorial sounds (CC0 / public domain) are in THIRD_PARTY.md and in the app under Help → About → Open source licenses.

SoundVisualizer_v2.0

SoundVisualizer 2.0 brings over what the Android version learned: a new AI pipeline, a Sounds tab, a lighter overlay, help and notices, a tutorial, better keyboard and screen reader support, and 18 languages.

Download

SoundVisualizer_v2.0.zip — Windows 10/11 (64-bit). You no longer need to install .NET. Extract the zip anywhere and run SoundVisualizer.exe. Settings are saved in settings.json next to the exe; to keep your v1.x settings, copy your old settings.json into the new folder.

What's new

AI sound classification, rebuilt

• The audio now reaches YAMNet the way the model was trained: anti-aliased resampling to 16 kHz and the exact log-mel frontend the model was exported with. Each step is checked against reference outputs.
• On 5.1/7.1 systems the AI listens to every channel, not just the front.
• Warning sounds (sirens, alarms, explosions, fireworks and similar) count as Danger even when they are only among the top five candidates, so music or game audio can't hide them. Gunshot labels are not promoted this way, to avoid false alarms.
• Colors no longer flicker: Danger shows on the first qualifying result, Speech and Ambient need two in a row.
• The AI runs every 250 ms and rests while it's quiet.
• The separate gunshot booster model was removed.

Sounds tab

• Choose whether each group of sounds (or, in advanced mode, each of the 521 sounds) counts as Ambient, Speech or Danger. Search, filter, and reset in one step. The overlay follows your changes immediately.

A smoother, lighter overlay

• Animations move at the same speed at any frame rate, from 30 FPS up to your monitor's refresh rate.
• When nothing has been visible for a second, the overlay stops redrawing every frame and wakes as soon as sound arrives (idle CPU use dropped to roughly a third in our measurement).
• A Danger result that arrives a moment late is still drawn at the size the sound had.
• With stereo output, sound common to both channels is drawn at the top and only the left/right difference goes to the sides.
• Fixed: Wave and Outline drew nothing in 2.0 mode on 16:9 screens, and disappeared in 5.1/7.1 whenever a corner channel was silent.

Help, notices, tray icon, and tutorial

• A new Help tab with getting started, visual modes, sound types, hotkeys, FAQ, a report button (prefilled GitHub issue or email), and the open source licenses.
• The Home tab tells you when there is no playback device to capture, when sound type detection is unavailable, or why the visualizer stopped.
• A tray icon to start or stop the visualizer, return to the launcher, or exit.
• A short tutorial on first launch, which you can reopen from the Home tab.

Look and language

• 18 languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Hindi, and Arabic (right-to-left). By default the app follows the Windows display language.
• A refreshed design matching the Android version, with the Pretendard font.

Keyboard and screen readers

• Every tab and window can now be reached with the keyboard (Tab used to reach only the last tab's content). Ctrl+Tab switches launcher tabs and Esc closes dialogs and the overlay settings.
• Browsing the language list with the keyboard no longer changes the language until you choose one.
• Buttons and controls that were silent for screen readers now have names (minimize, close, hotkeys, color buttons, the color picker area and presets), status changes and notices are announced, and section titles are exposed as headings.
• Everything you can drag in the overlay editor can also be changed with a slider in its panel.

Developer mode

• Shows what the AI heard (top five sounds, confidence, timing) at the top left of the overlay, and can record every result to a CSV file in the ai-log folder next to the app.

Other fixes

• The overlay now uses the language you chose (six languages used to start in Korean).
• VB-CABLE routing respects the actual buffer length, and 7.1 channels are mapped in the right order.
• "Reset to defaults" now also resets the hotkeys.
• Settings are saved once after you stop moving a slider instead of on every step.
• Switching the visual mode in the overlay settings now shows that mode's own size, opacity, and speed values.
• The app name is now written as one word, SoundVisualizer, everywhere.

Notes

• Sound type detection can be wrong. Don't rely on this app as your only safeguard when safety is at stake.
• Licenses for bundled libraries, the YAMNet model, the AudioSet sound names (CC BY-SA 4.0), the Pretendard font (OFL), and the tutorial sounds (CC0 / public domain) are in THIRD_PARTY.md and in the app under Help → About → Open source licenses.

---

🌟 What's New in v1.1

🤖 AI Sound Classification (Powered by YAMNet & ONNX)

• Real-time Audio Event Detection: Integrated an advanced AI sound classifier capable of detecting Speech, Gunshots, and Ambient Background noises.
• Visual Feedback: Each detected sound category now maps to specific UI color cues, providing critical accessibility for deaf/hard-of-hearing users and enhanced tactical awareness for gamers.

🔊 Advanced 7.1 Surround & "Picture Frame" Rendering

• Perfected 7.1 Visualization: The wave animations now flow strictly along the screen's rectangular edges without distortion.
• Sharp Corner Joints: Overhauled the rendering logic to maintain sharp 90-degree corners without rounded artifacts or geometry overlaps, retaining fluid and organic movement even at 120+ FPS.
• Hardware-Aware: Seamlessly detects and maps to 2.0 Stereo, 5.1, and 7.1 Surround setups.

⚡ Extreme Performance Optimization (Zero-Allocation)

• GC-Free Rendering: Completely optimized the high-FPS rendering loop to minimize per-frame memory allocations by caching UI objects and geometry path points.

🎵 SoundVisualizer — 소리를 눈으로 보는 프로그램

영상을 볼 때 소리를 듣지 못한다는 것은 영상 정보의 절반을 잃는 것과 다르지 않습니다.

자막으로 대화 내용은 어느 정도 파악할 수 있지만, 사이렌 소리, 폭발음, 누군가 다가오는 발소리 등, 상황과 방향을 전달하는 소리는 자막만으로 온전히 느끼기 어렵습니다.

SoundVisualizer는 이런 부분에서 청각장애인 분들이 영상을 더 풍부하게 경험할 수 있도록 돕고 싶다는 마음에서 시작된 프로젝트입니다.

또한 나아가 이 프로젝트는 소리를 듣기 어려운 특정 환경(대중교통, 공공장소 등)에서도 게임 또는 영상을 생생하게 느끼고 싶거나, 소리에 대한 정보가 특히 중요한 상황일 때 누구나 활용할 수 있도록 유용한 기능들을 첨가한 범용 소프트웨어입니다.

SoundVisualizer는 컴퓨터에서 나오는 소리를 실시간으로 시각적인 파동으로 표현해 주는 프로그램입니다.

1. 소리의 크기의 경우, 소리가 클수록 화면의 파동이 크게 출렁이고, 소리가 작아지면 잔잔해집니다.
2. 소리의 방향의 경우, 영상 소스의 소리 출력 방향에 따라 해당 방향으로부터 화면 가장자리에 파동이 일어납니다.
3. 또한 AI가 소리의 종류를 분석하여 다음 예와 같이 색상으로 구분해 줍니다.
   색상은 사용자가 원하는 색상으로 변경 가능합니다.

⚪ 흰색 — 일반적인 환경음
🟡 노란색 — 사람 목소리
🔴 빨간색 — 위험한 소리 (사이렌, 경적, 폭발음 등)
