About this app

SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS 🎶

Piano 🎹, Flute 📏, Violin (beta) 🎻, Accoustic Guitar (beta) 🎸
Currently only solo instruments are supported, no bands or orchestras.


FUNCTIONS 🌟🌈☀️️

» Transcribe YouTube song covers, microphone recordings, and audio files to sheet music
» View the transcribed music as classical score, piano roll or guitar tab
» Playback the sheet music and listen to the result
» Download sheet as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML
» Share your compositions with your friends
» Synchronize with the desktop version


⚠️ WHAT THIS APP DOESN'T OFFER

» Separation of multiple instruments:
The note recognition can't separate multiple instruments. If you record multiple instruments playing simultaneously you will get bad transcription results!
» Live note recognition:
This app is not able to show you live note recognition results. Instead, it will take some time to perform the frequency analysis and show you the results.
» 100% match percentage:
This app won't detect 100% of the played notes and there will also be wrong detections. But depending on the quality of the input signal, it will give you useful suggests!


🔑 WHY DO I NEED AN ACCOUNT?

You create an account to ensure that only you can access your created sheet music!
A lot of computing power is necessary to generate the scores from the audio, so it needs to run on a powerful server in the cloud.
Also, you can access your sheets from the desktop version, too, by signing in using the same account.

Doesn't even try to transcribe. Bad grammar. Poor playback (waits like a minute to even start playing recording after you hit play). Altogether a very sloppy effort and it fails miserably in that it doesn't do anything at all. Oh, and Klangio is very clearly putting fake reviews up. So there's some extra shadiness for you.

failed YouTube upload, failed MP3 upload tried to upload a song I fully owned, failed with a vague 'maybe it's a copyright' error paid for a monthly subscription to try an MP3 upload, it's been stuck in 'upload' mode for 30 minutes apparently it's a substantially nonfunctioning app, hopefully the developers will make progress, but in it's current state i would give negative stars if that was possible

Not fit for purpose. I paid around £8 for a month intending to use the app for bass tabs. 4 of the 5 isolated MP3 bass lines I attempted to upload came up with an error message, while the tab for the other one was wildly inaccurate. Moreover, when you download the PDF of the inaccurate tab, it is all annotated on the E string, meaning you have to do it yourself anyway! What a joke. I emailed them to request a refund but no reply has been received. Do not waste your money on this garbage.
