Show HN: I Built Smart Radio That Auto-Skips Talk and Ads by Using ML

FreeGuessr Friday, February 27, 2026

Hi, I built TuneJourney to solve a specific annoyance: radio ads and DJ chatter. The core feature is an in-browser "AI Skip Talk" filter.

The Tech: Instead of processing on a server, it uses the Web Audio API to capture the stream locally and runs a lightweight ML classification model directly in your browser. It estimates the music vs. speech probability in near real-time. If enabled, it automatically triggers a "next" command to hop to another station the moment an ad, news segment, or DJ starts talking.

Features: - In-browser Inference: Entirely local and privacy-focused; no audio data ever leaves your machine. - WebGL + Point Clustering: Renders 70,000 stations across 11,000 locations smoothly. - Real-time Activity: See other users on the globe and what they are listening to in real-time. - System Integration: Full Media Key support for physical keyboard and system-level Next/Prev buttons. - Customization: Includes a talk sensitivity slider for the ML model so you can tweak the threshold.

Let me know what you think! I am interested if this project is worth further investment, building a mobile app, etc.
