Piano transcription
Turn a piano recording into a MIDI file
Drop in a recording of a song you want to learn — yours or anyone else’s — and get back the notes, timing, and velocity as a MIDI file you can slow down, loop, or drop into notation software.
Built by a pianist who got tired of hunting for transcriptions that didn’t exist.
One free transcription a week of the first 2 minutes of a recording, no card required. See plans

Free transcriptions cover the first 2 minutes of a recording; anything after that is left out. Paid plans go up to 15 minutes.
Transcribing needs an account — we’ll hold onto your file while you sign in.
How it works
Upload a recording
WAV, MP3, FLAC, or OGG — a phone recording, a DI line, or an exported mix all work.
It gets transcribed
A neural model listens for note onsets, pitch, and velocity — not just which keys were pressed, but when and how hard.
Download the MIDI
Open it in your DAW or notation software. It’s saved to your account too, so you can come back for it later — see My transcriptions.

Questions
Is my audio stored anywhere?
No — your audio file is uploaded straight to the transcription server, processed, and discarded. The MIDI result is different: it’s saved to your account so you can come back and download it again later from your history.
How accurate is the transcription?
It works best on solo piano recordings with reasonably clean audio. Dense passages, heavy pedaling, or a noisy recording can lead to missed or extra notes — treat the output as a strong starting point, not a perfect transcript.
What can I do with the MIDI file?
Anything a normal MIDI file supports — import it into a DAW like Ableton or Logic, or into notation software like MuseScore, to edit, print sheet music, or rearrange it.
Can I use it for sampling or commercial work?
Yes. You own the MIDI generated from your own recordings and can use it however you like, including commercially.
