Built for songwriters

CATCH THE IDEA.
BEFORE IT'S GONE.

PHONE AUDIO WORKS

Trained on real-world audio. Background hiss, room reverb, imperfect mic placement all handled. No studio needed.

MELODY + CHORDS

Record guitar, piano, or a rough band demo so the AI can hear both notes and chord movement.

EDITABLE STARTER

Treat the result as a draft. Every note, chord, and lyric is editable in the in-app editor — fix what we missed, export the clean version.

How it works

FROM HUM TO TAB.
IN MINUTES.

01

Record the idea

Open your phone's voice memo app and record the clearest take you can. Save the audio file when you're done.

02

Upload it

Drop the audio file into the upload box. We analyze the recording and transcribe the playable parts.

03

Refine and export

Get a tab, chord chart, and lyrics. Edit any note. Export to MIDI or PDF when you're happy.

Tips for best results

BETTER INPUT.
BETTER TAB.

Include the harmony

If you can strum or play basic chords in the demo, we hear both the lead line and the harmonic context.

Get the mic close-ish

Hold the phone within arm's length. You don't need studio gear, just clear audio without major room echo.

Use the clearest take

Avoid clipping, loud room echo, and heavy background noise. A simple phone recording can work when the musical part is clear.

Mark the start

Tap once or count in before the song starts. Helps the beat detector lock onto the tempo from the first bar.

FAQ

Can it really turn a phone recording into a tab?

Yes. Upload a clear audio file of a rough demo, rehearsal clip, or song idea. Results are best when the recording includes guitar or another harmonic instrument, because the AI can hear both notes and chord movement.

What's the best way to record?

A phone voice memo app works fine. Get close enough that the recording is clear. If you can include guitar or piano in the demo, the result is significantly better because we can hear the harmony, not just the lead line.

Does the audio quality need to be studio grade?

No. Phone-quality recordings can work. Clearer audio produces better tabs, while heavy background noise, room echo, or buried guitar may need manual cleanup.

What if the demo is rough?

Rough demos are fine as long as the musical part is audible. The output is editable, so you can clean up a note, lyric, or chord after transcription.

How long can the voice memo be?

Free users: up to 5 minutes per song. Pro: up to 15 minutes per song. Long enough for a full song idea with multiple sections.

Will this work for full songwriting demos?

Yes, this is the main use case. Upload a rough demo with guitar, piano, or another clear accompaniment and get a tab plus chord chart you can clean up in the in-app editor.

Can I edit the result?

Every note, chord, and lyric is editable. We give you a starting transcription, you fix what we got wrong, and export the cleaned version as MIDI or PDF.

What about voice memos with lyrics?

We do lyric transcription on the vocal stem too. You get a tab, chord chart, and word-level synced lyrics in one pass.
