In their own words
Guitar2Tabs
Guitar2Tabs turns guitar recordings and YouTube links into editable tabs and sheet music. It supports acoustic, electric and bass guitar, for both strummed parts and picked melodies. Users can upload audio, record in the app or paste a YouTube link, then play back the transcription and edit notes before exporting. Notation can be shown as tabs or standard notation. Export formats include PDF, quantized or unquantized MIDI, MusicXML and Guitar Pro files, compatible with MuseScore, Sibelius, Guitar Pro, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and GarageBand. A personal songbook stores files and makes transcriptions accessible on desktop devices. The free demo allows unlimited transcriptions of up to 20 seconds each without signup, and the Free plan includes PDF downloads. Instrument Pro is $14.99 a month, billed monthly, for 50 full transcriptions per month, up to 15 minutes each, additional export formats and a browser-based editor. The service runs on the web, Android and iOS.
Violin2Notes
Violin2Notes uses AI to turn recordings of violin, viola, cello, and double bass into editable scores and music files. It can work with string parts even when other instruments are present. Users can upload audio, paste a YouTube link, or record in the app; supported upload formats include MP3, WAV, MP4, MIDI, and FLAC. An editor lets users adjust notes, timing, and layout before exporting PDF sheet music, quantized or unquantized MIDI, or MusicXML. Piano Roll mode provides a visual way to view and play along with a transcription. Free demos can be repeated, but each covers only the first 20 seconds of audio, a video, or an in-app recording and provides a PDF preview. Pro includes 50 full transcriptions per month, each up to 15 minutes. It costs $14.99 a month, or $6.24 a year with annual billing, shown as an equivalent monthly cost. The service is available on web, iOS, and Android, and the maker says transcriptions sync across those platforms. The maker says clear recordings focused on strings produce the best results; corrections can be made in the editor.
