Transcribing needs an account — we’ll hold onto your file while you sign in.
Learn from your own playing
Transcribing other pianists is how most people learn to improvise. Transcribing yourself is how you find your habits: the voicing you always reach for, the line that keeps coming back, where the left hand goes quiet.
Seeing it as notes, slowed down, makes those patterns obvious in a way listening back does not.
Keep the good bits
Found a phrase worth keeping? Cut it out of the MIDI and you have it exactly as played, ready to practise in other keys or build into a tune.
For a written copy, open the MIDI in MuseScore and tidy the rhythm there.
Jazz-aware hand separation
Improvised jazz piano is hard to split into hands: the left hand leaps from bass notes to mid-range chords and back. The Jazz setting is built for stride, ragtime and swing piano, and keeps a left-hand figure together after a leap.
Choose Classical instead for playing where each hand keeps to its own part of the keyboard.
Questions
Do I need a digital piano?
No. If you have a digital piano with MIDI out, record MIDI directly; that is always exact. This is for an acoustic piano, or when the MIDI wasn’t recording.
How accurate is it?
Very good on clear single lines and open voicings; least sure on dense, heavily pedalled passages. Treat it as a detailed draft.
Can I edit the notes?
Yes. Paid plans include an editor to fix notes and timing in the browser before you download.
