song recognition only #210

Closed appleboblin closed 11 months ago

appleboblin commented 11 months ago

Hi, I'm currently running GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8. I'm wondering if its possible to only use the song recognition function with offline database like a regular application? I do not want my mic to be constantly listening to audio, something like Shazam where it only works when I press a button in an application. Sorry for continence if this is not the right place to ask this question.

After playing around, seems like I can set the recognition period to never, I'm wondering if this method still requires shizuku? would be nice if it doesn't require shizuku for manual trigger

Offline recognition only is the default. Manual recognition is as you have discovered the same as what Shazam does, but the recognition never leaves your device - automatic recognition is the same, but runs automatically periodically. Either way, your mic will only be used for local recognition and audio is never sent to a server.

The only time server-based recognition is used is when On Demand is used, which requires the Google app. Given you're using GrapheneOS, I presume you are using a de-googled installation, so On Demand would not work on your device anyway.

Shizuku is required for the app to function at all, it is a requirement for recording audio not for running in the background.
