Features
Works with any audio file
WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, or a video file. Drop it in and we convert it to MIDI. No format wrangling, no preprocessing, no resampling.
Transcribe or arrange
Transcription mode captures the exact notes from a recording. Arrangement mode writes a new MIDI part for your instrument, even if the original track doesn’t have one.
Isolate any instrument
Full band or ensemble recording? Choose Multi-Instrument to get every part as its own MIDI track at once, or pick one instrument and we separate it from the mix and convert just that part.

I’ve composed a song that has lived in my heart for years - a deeply personal piece that I’ve never been able to share properly. Thanks to Songscription, I’ve finally translated it into sheet music. Now my composition can be performed and appreciated beyond just my own playing - a dream I’ve had since I first wrote those notes.

Frequently asked questions
What audio formats can I convert to MIDI?
What audio formats can I convert to MIDI?
MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WebM, MP4, and MOV. iPhone voice memos and phone videos work too. You can also paste a YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok link and we pull the audio automatically.
Do I need to convert my WAV to MP3 first?
Do I need to convert my WAV to MP3 first?
No. Upload WAV directly. Higher-quality audio actually produces better MIDI because more of the original performance survives the analysis. Skip the lossy step.
What about recordings from my phone?
What about recordings from my phone?
M4A from iPhone, MP4 video from any phone, OGG from Android: all work. We handle the format conversion in the browser before sending the audio for analysis.
Is the MIDI quantized or free-time?

Free-time by default. The MIDI carries the original timing from the performance, so the feel is preserved. Quantize it inside your DAW if you want a tight grid.
