Songscription converts audio recordings into sheet music, MIDI files, guitar tabs, and MusicXML using advanced AI.

Songscription is a music transcription platform that utilizes artificial intelligence to transform audio recordings into various musical notations. Users can upload MP3, WAV, or M4A files, paste links from YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok, or record audio directly within the platform. It supports transcription for a wide range of instruments including piano, guitar, bass, violin, flute, trumpet, saxophone, drums, and vocals. The Multi-Instrument mode can transcribe mixed recordings, providing separate parts for each instrument. The platform also offers features like arranging songs as piano covers at chosen difficulty levels, piano + vocal arrangements, or lead sheets with chord symbols. Outputs can be exported as PDF sheet music, MIDI for DAWs, MusicXML for notation editors, or Guitar Pro format. Songscription includes a built-in sheet music editor with an AI assistant named Annie for text-based edits, automatic piano fingering, and an interactive piano roll for visualization and practice.
