In their own words
Songscription
Songscription is a web-based music transcription platform that converts audio recordings and video links into sheet music, MIDI, guitar tabs, and an interactive piano roll. It accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A, MP4, MOV, or WebM files, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok links, browser recordings, and MIDI or MusicXML imports. It transcribes piano, guitar, bass, double bass, violin, flute, trumpet, saxophone, drums, and vocals, one instrument at a time. Transcriptions can be edited note by note, including pitches, timing, note deletion, and hand assignment. Piano cover mode arranges a song for piano, while chord detection attempts to identify chords in a performance. Exports include PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, and Guitar Pro. The free plan allows unlimited 30-second transcriptions. Plus costs $99.90 a year and Pro costs $299.90 a year, each billed annually before tax; both allow transcriptions up to 15 minutes. Songscription works in mobile browsers as well as desktop browsers.
