Piano transcription

Piano transcription

Song2Notation is a piano transcription tool that produces an AI-generated, editable draft. Use it to inspect what was played, practice slowly, or start an arrangement — not as a replacement for a human engraver.

What piano transcription includes

Readable staff draft

Song2Notation turns the recognized notes into readable piano notation for review. It is a draft to check, not an unedited note dump.

Melody-focused Numbered Notation

Numbered Notation uses the right-hand melody so the line stays readable for teaching and practice.

Exports for the next tool

Paid plans add MIDI and MusicXML so you can move the draft into a DAW or notation app.

Supported formats and limits

These limits match the live upload and plan rules. Free is a 30-second preview. Paid plans unlock longer files and MusicXML, MIDI, PDF, Numbered Notation, and Piano Roll access.

File formats

Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WEBM, MP4, or MOV. Browser recording and supported public YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok links use the same transcription job model.

Plan duration and size

Free previews the first 30 seconds and accepts files up to 25 MB. Pianist allows files up to 6 minutes and 150 MB. Composer allows files up to 15 minutes and 500 MB.

Best source material

Clean solo piano recordings are the strongest fit. Dense mixes, vocals, drums, and noisy audio usually need cleaner input and more human editing.

What the draft is for

Song2Notation generates an AI-editable draft. Export MusicXML to continue in MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale, or Dorico. It is not publication-grade engraving.

FAQ

Is this automatic piano transcription publication-ready?

No. Treat the output as an editable draft. Fingerings, dynamics, and layout still need human work.
