Leshy Tuner Update and Web Widget

A new version of Leshy Tuner, our HTML5 chromatic instrument tuner is being released. With this update, it is now possible to use Leshy Tuner as a web widget.

A number of changes were made to make the needle less jumpy and to make detection more accurate. I've tested this on a number of instruments, and while the accuracy is a little better, the stability when the volume is low or fading has been greatly improved.

Since the initial release of Leshy Tuner, browser compatibility has gotten much better. While there is still more progress needed (especially on mobile,) both the desktop and mobile version of Chrome and Firefox are now able to run the tuner. In general, Chrome's desktop version is still the preferred browser, but this may change.

I've decided as an experiment to make Leshy Tuner available as a web widget. This means that by adding a small amount of HTML to a web page, Leshy Tuner will embed itself into that position on the page. This is to be considered experimental with no guarantees of functionality or availability. It is not for commercial use. By using the embedded version of Leshy Tuner you must agree to the Terms of Use. If you are interested in obtaining a license for commercial use or a re-themed version, please send email to the address contact at LeshyLabs.com.

NOTE: New versions of the Chrome web browser will only allow the microphone to be accessed when pages are served over HTTPS.

NOTE: This license is for non-commercial use only. Commercial licenses must be purchased.

To add the web widget, the following HTML must be inserted into the body of a web page at the position you want Leshy Tuner to appear.

<div id="leshyTuner" startDisabled="true" style="height: 280px">
   <script>
   (function() {
      var s = document.createElement('script');
      s.async = true;
      s.src = 'https://www.leshylabs.com/apps/tuner/widget.js';
      document.body.appendChild(s);
   })();
   </script>
   <a href="//www.leshylabs.com/" rel="nofollow">Created by Leshy Labs</a>
</div>

startDisabled

The "startDisabled" option on the <div> determines what Leshy Tuner does when it launches. When this is set to true, Leshy Tuner will not request access to the microphone on page load. Instead, it will wait for the power button to be pressed. If this option is not set to true, then LeshyTuner will request access to the microphone as soon as the page loads.
