Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast I'll be demonstrating the NAD Sadhana app.
Now I did do a podcast on this in 2021.
So today is going to be about revisiting the app, because since my podcast in 2021, the app has undergone major changes when it comes to accessibility, like when it comes to features as well as accessibility improvements, simply user interface and all that great stuff.
And the developers really committed when it comes to accessibility, which is really great to see.
And what this app basically does, it basically listens to you and according to your singing, it will improvise.
The app is primarily based for Indian classical musicians, but the cool thing is that it also has styles for Western music as well.
And so you can say it's not…
