Melody Scanner
Karlsruhe, Germany
What it is
Melody Scanner transcribes songs into sheet music from instrument recordings, uploaded files and YouTube videos. It accepts MIDI, MusicXML and MP3 imports; paid plans also list M4A and OGG uploads. Scores can be edited in classical notation, piano roll or guitar tabs, with PDF export available. Listed modes cover piano, guitar, flute, violin, saxophone, bass, singing and chords. The maker says piano mode supports polyphony, velocity and hand separation, with accuracy up to 86%; smart editing can help transpose scores and label chords. The browser app runs without installation, and the product is also listed for iOS and Android. The free plan costs nothing and allows recordings up to one minute and sheets up to 40 bars or about two minutes. The monthly plan is $9.99 a month; the yearly plan is $49.99 a year, billed annually. Both list recordings up to five minutes, full sheets and MIDI/MusicXML export. The service supports solo instruments only, not bands or orchestras.
