EVER had that song in your head that you can't quite remember the name of? Well, a Bangor University student believes he has found a solution to that problem.

22-year-old Joey Elliott has created the "Hummit" app which lets users discover songs they may not even know the name of, such as the title of a catchy song heard on the radio and then forgotten about.

Joey, who is from Oswestry, decided to develop the app after he had found himself having this recurring problem and is now hoping to help others in similar situations.

He came to Bangor University to study a Masters in Electronic Engineering and thanks to skills learnt along the way, he has taught himself the techniques required to develop mobile apps in his spare time.

“Hummit only took six months to build from scratch before it was ready to be released." Joey explained.

"Developing this project has also provided an abundance of valuable skills for my CV, such as experience with AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Xamarin (a software platform owned by Microsoft).”

Hummit, which was released last April, works by recording a short audio sample that can then be heard by all other users of the app, who can then respond with answers.

Afterwards the correct answer can be chosen, and points are rewarded, which determine your high score ranking.

Joey’s dissertation supervisor, Dr Maziar Nezhad at the School of Electronic Engineering says that Hummit has what it takes to stand out amongst other similar apps.

“The defining feature of this app is that it identifies music through a crowd-sourcing approach." he said.

"This can enable a wider range of recognition abilities compared to similar AI-based apps (such as Shazam and SoundHound), assuming that a sufficiently large user base is generated.”

Hummit is available for download by everyone on Android, iOS and Windows.
