The service can transcribe multiple instruments from full mixes, including piano, guitar, bass, drums, vocals, strings, and winds. In the browser editor, users can adjust notes, rhythm, tempo, time signature, and key. Exports include PDF, MusicXML, MIDI, and Guitar Pro, and the maker says exported files work with MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico, Finale, Guitar Pro, and major DAWs. Transcription modes include Rock, Classical, and Arrangement. Uploaded files can be up to 15 minutes and 100 MB; in-app recordings are limited to five minutes.
